Strangers on a Train Ratings & Reviews

A great film to introduce someone to Hitchcock. Not his greatest work, but still suspenseful and with some great characters
Rajpreet Singh
April 26, 2025
It was not alfred hitchcock standard movie. The screenplay was very simple.
The Hollywood Reporter
THR Staff
Strangers on a Train is an admirable demonstration of Alfred Hitchcock's virtuosity in the area of suspense dramas.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Rousing thriller with creative fairground scenes and much about technology.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Arguably one of Hitchcock's masterpieces, this intrguing film deals with all the autuer's issues, including the double motif, moral ambiguity, fine line between hero and villain.
Common Sense Media
Scott G. Mignola
Classic nail-biter is a must for thriller fans.
TIME Magazine
Winds up with a scene in which a merry-go-round goes wild, spins like a pin wheel, and crashes in a gaudy blaze of explosions that no earthly carrousel could touch off. The movie itself is the same way: implausible but intriguing and great fun to ride.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
the work most necessary for a deeper appreciation of Hitchcock's late masterpieces.
Film and Felt
Gabe Leibowitz
Even more marvelous after a second viewing
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Perhaps Strangers on a Train still hasn't yielded all its secrets.
Arizona Daily Star
Phil Villarreal
The prototypical Hitchcock thrill ride.
Bangor Daily News (Maine)
Christopher Smith
Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train" is about weakness crisscrossing with evil, with evil pushing hard for the upper hand. Nobody comes away unscathed.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
worthy vehicle that displays Hitchcock's narrative ability and explores some of his favorite themes
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
Most of the film is a journey through pure Hitchcockian irony and suspense, and well worth the trip.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
To ignore the subtext during the runaway carousel climax is to be absolutely blind.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Hitchcock was above all the master of great visual set pieces, and there are several famous sequences in Strangers on a Train.
Variety
Variety Staff
Given a good basis for a thriller in the Patricia Highsmith novel and a first-rate script, Hitchcock embroiders the plot into a gripping, palm-sweating piece of suspense.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
...his basic premise of fear fired by menace is so thin and so utterly unconvincing that the story just does not stand.
