Mr. Ricco Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Robert Hoban's screenplay plays fast and loose with credibility, relying on the audience's knee-jerk reaction to police corruption to tie up the loose ends.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
It's such a clumsy movie it makes all the actor look dreadful, which may or may not be the fact.
Home Media Magazine
Mike Clark
Mr. Ricco is kind of a footnote.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeanne Miller
Paul Bogart directed with an admiring eye for the beauty of The City. But he was unable to generate much excitement, perhaps because he was forced to spend too much time keeping his star awake.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
George Anderson
As a straight actor, Martin barely can articulate a complex sentence.
Philadelphia Daily News
Joe Baltake
The secret of the movie's success is its straightforward plotting, Bogart's low-keyed gimmick-free direction and an incredibly effective, natural performance by Dean Martin.
Oregonian
Ted Mahar
The story is complicated, full of all kinds of trickery (by some of the characters, not the writers or Bogart) and loaded with action.
New York Daily News
Ann Guarino
The bland little crime drama does not get itself together until the final 15 minutes.
Los Angeles Times
Linda Gross
Paul Bogart's stiff direction suffers from the same low energy level that stifles the rest of the movie.
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
Martin's laconic, tipsy, feeling-no-pain persona used to be charming, but now he seems merely tired and mechanical.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Perry Stewart
"Mr. Ricco" is a well written, superbly directed cops-and-lawyers melodrama in which everyone, even Dino, acquits himself well.
Detroit Free Press
Susan Stark
Martin steps into a format equally banal and far more offensive than that of the Matt Helm movie series.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Emerson Batdorff
"Mr. Ricco" is a rambling picture that goes off in several directions.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Pollack
The action moves fast, and though the the story has lots of holes (and so do the victims), it isn't an unpleasant way to spend an evening.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Mr. Ricco keeps us waiting through two hours of yawn inducing "suspense" for an ending that's totally off the wall.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
I couldn't defend this crime film even if I would happen to be the best liberal lawyer in San Francisco.
