Critic Reviews
The film is split down the middle, with many elegant symmetries and curling plotlines bridging the two halves: one part is a bracing, funny, almost Keaton-esque comedy starring Harry as a deadpan center of disaster; the other is a brooding, brutal film noir, starring Sondra Locke as a vengeful femme fatale.

Harry is more fun, and he is less the fascist. Considering the genre -- bloody crimebusting and to-hell-with-your-rights- pal -- these are no small blessings. [12 Dec 1983, p.C6]
Wonderfully directed - the interiors are lit like Caravaggio, the
action sequences are smooth as a well-oiled .38) - but is less than
wonderful, unless you're the kind of moviegoer who loves to cheer when
human "vermin" gets its guts blown out. [10 Dec 1983]
