The movie is full of macabre surprises. As good as Hoskins is as the little sweat-manufacturer caught in everybody's pliers, far better is Robin Williams in an unbilled appearance as a nihilist dynamiter. [13 Dec 1996]

This new version is quite faithful to Conrad's novel, not only in content but also in tone. [13 Dec 1996]
