David K @RT61474040 Sep 29, 2026 I don't know how I missed this movie. The Third Man is one of my favorite films and this is arguably better. Carol Reed does a stunning job. The revelation to me is the performance of James Mason. This is, to my way of thinking, his best performance. A must see. See more

Peter F @RT64944199 Nov 29, 2024 It was really distracting having none of the cast, other than the children playing in the street, having Belfast accents. James Mason didn't even attempt a Belfast accent and the rest of the cast had southern/Dublin accents. Great mood and cinematography. Some great shots of 1940s post war Belfast. See more

SICKS6SIX S @SICKS6SIXS Jun 23, 2024 One of the best British films of that era. The b&w film creates a eerie feel to the film and the air raid shelter scene when he's slipping in and out of reality is one of cinemas best moments. The first time you watch it you think your watching someone's dream that's been captured and put on the big screen. See more

Chris H @RT60525826 Feb 22, 2024 First of all, it's not The Third Man, but I'm struggling to criticise it in any other way. James Mason plays it superbly; he is a terrorist murderer with whom we grow to sympathise, but this is not fairy tale mush; he maintains an edge, even in his severely weakened state, and he is no cuddly reformed villain. The behaviour of all around him - strange characters, with their own way of looking at the world - makes this film real and emotional. See more

nick s @Nick_S Dec 2, 2023 The cast was remarkably good in this film. The story went to interesting and unexpected places. It seemed that every character was trying to balance their own welfare against the cause they believed in, and each character had redeeming qualities. The film had good suspense in every scene.

Jack V @RT09345480 Nov 23, 2023 A masterpiece from start to finish, this movie has it all. Thrilling action, complex characters and moral debates, impeccable plot and acting and a fitting end. As well as impressive directing for the time. Just pure perfection. See more
