The Deadly Companions Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 18, 2025
Has a little more edge to it than most pre-70s westerns. Some aspects of the characters are ridiculous, but they remain consistent throughout the film.
The New Yorker
Michael Sragow
The plot twists are hokey, but the atmosphere is bleak and tense, and the men's performances nuanced.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Rapidly proliferating ideas in a condensed style
TV Guide
An interesting start for one of modern American cinema's most brilliant and controversial directors.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
As the deadlier of the refugee criminals, Steve Cochran is almost as mean as his colleague, Chill Wills, is picturesque. Their resourceful efforts would be more effective if the drama, as directed by Sam Peckinpah, did not move at the pace of a hearse.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
This film is visually powerful in spots, as it overcomes its routine theme with burning images of lust, greed, and hatred.
