Marathon Man Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
If holes in plots bother you, Marathon Man will be maddening. But as well-crafted escapist entertainment, as a diabolical thriller, the movie works with relentless skill.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
A project that seemed a leaden cinch to be the kind of visceral thriller that makes audiences almost sich with excitement has fouled up right from the word go, and nothing in it works quite the way it was meant to.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
... you have to admit its ingredients are well-dosed, in a script that literally works as a puzzle. [Full review in Spanish]
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
The movie cannily plops a complete innocent in the midst of people who are smarter, stronger, and savvier and then requires him to outlast them all in order to survive.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
By the time one finishes watching Marathon Man, Laurence Olivier's terrifying performance will still be on their mind.
New Times (magazine)
Richard Corliss
Marathon Man is kitsch of a pretty high order. And it dips effectively into the slightly-frayed, but still-full, bag of suspense-movie tricks.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Despite the pervasive suspense and the uniqueness of the bloodshed, the script's insistence on withholding clues prevents a deeper involvement with the plot.
Philadelphia Gay News
Michael Mascioli
Marathon Man is an astounding, top-notch thriller that stands out as one of the year's ten best.
Los Angeles Free Press
Ruth Batchelor
John Schlesinger, who brought us Darling, Midnight Cowboy, Sunday Bloody Sunday and, alas The Day of the Locust, is by far one of the best film directors in the industry.
Esquire Magazine
Dom Nero
There is no classic film that captures the horror-of-human-history phenomenon more exemplarily.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Filmmaker John Schlesinger delivers a slow-moving first half that admittedly requires a fair degree of patience from the viewer...
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Schlesinger's stylish political thriller features Olivier as an old, nasty Nazi, in a splashy role that earned him Oscar nomination.
Common Sense Media
David Gurney
Film's notorious torture scene means adults only.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
If this doesn't turn you against going to the dentist, nothing will. Terrifying, pulsating film w/Hoffman.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Needlessly complicated glossy thriller.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Scheider looks great as the well-dressed cool guy and Olivier turns in his most notoriously frightening performance.
DVD Clinic
Scott Weinberg
Although best-known for its infamous "Is it safe?" sequence, Marathon Man is a whole lot better than just one horrific scene.
