Little Caesar Reviews
Cinemania
Dan Jardine
Edward G. Robinson's gravelly snarl and sociopathic disdain for human conventions became the template for countless future gangster anti-heroes

Come for Rico, stay for Rico
Slant Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
Feels stilted when stacked up against its tougher depression-era contemporaries.
Film and Felt
Gabe Leibowitz
Little Caesar makes two classic LeRoy joints that I've found perfectly solid...and thoroughly underwhelming, especially when viewed through the prism of their reputations.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
One of the most popular and best received crime films ever.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
Robinson's riveting performance earned him a permanent place in the history of cinema.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
LeRoy's coldly efficient direction-due less to his own artistry than to the constraints of sound recording in its first years-imposes a static rigor on the action and lends the actor's diction and gestures a sculptural, granitic force.
Variety
Variety Staff
No director could ask for more than Edward G. Robinson's contribution. Here, no matter what he has to say, he's entirely convincing.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
The production is ordinary and would rank as just one more gangster film but for two things. One is the excellence of Mr. Burnett's credible and compact story. The other is Edward G. Robinson's wonderfully effective performance.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
Edward G. Robinson in the performance of his career.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Faded bronze to The Public Enemy's silver and Scarface's gold, but an enduring bedrock formation all the same
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Edward G. Robinson's classic portrayal makes this antique still work
Filmsite
Tim Dirks
One of the most well-known and best of the early classical gangster films is Warner Bros.' Little Caesar (1930) - often called the grandfather of the modern crime film
TV Guide
An indisputable landmark.
