The Captive City Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
One of the first crime films to use the Kefauver crime hearings as part of its expose story.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
The Captive City is staunchly dated and drained of efficacy.
Variety
Variety Staff
A tense, absorbing drama.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Cutting Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons definitely did Wise a few favors.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Somewhere along about the middle of all these goings-on, an alert and knowing observer may spot some provoking holes.
Parallax View
Sean Axmaker
... a tough yet austere little crime story carved out of a small budget.
TV Guide
Teal is frighteningly realistic as the corrupt police chief, and Sutherland is even more terrifying as the crime boss. Dawson is perfect as the gumshoe whose honesty exceeds his greed.
