Odd Man Out Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Odd Man Out is a picture to see, to absorb in the darkness of the theatre and then go home and talk about.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
haunting and remarkable and utterly uncompromised
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
It was the rat-tat-tat releases of 1947's Odd Man Out (good), 1948's The Fallen Idol (better) and 1949's The Third Man (best) that marked Carol Reed as a world-class filmmaker.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Carol Reed's Odd Man Out is one of the best political thrillers ever, with a top notch turn from James Mason.
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
What begins as an exercise in realism that includes an exceedingly quiet, civil robbery sequence, become increasingly expressionistic as it goes along.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Christopher Lloyd
I really enjoyed the dark atmospheric cinematography, and a wonderful, large cast. The movie kind of wanders away from itself in the second half, but I mostly enjoyed the places where it rambled.
TIME Magazine
James Agee
Dostoevskian in conception and design, the story progressively becomes more wildly adventurous, more mystical, more half-baked. But even in its failures, Odd Man Out is admirable.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
This may be Reed's most pretentious film, but it also happens to be one of his very best, beautifully capturing the poetry of a city at night.
Variety
Variety Staff
Carol Reed has made his film with deliberation and care, and has achieved splendid teamwork from every member of the cast. Occasionally too intent on pointing his moral and adorning his tale, he has missed little in its telling.
Artforum
Graham Fuller
Making an IRA leader sympathetic must have been risky in Britain in 1947
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Shadow and rain and snow blur in glistening corrosion for a very long Irish night
New York Press
Armond White
This is not director Carol Reed's best film (ranking behind The Third Man,The Stars Look Down, Outcast of the Islands, Night Train to Munich), but it impressively displays Reed's command of image and atmosphere.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Well-directed melodrama. Doesn't work on a 'tension' level, but is worth a watch.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
This is Carol Reed's breakthrough film as a director...
