The Professionals Ratings & Reviews

April 2, 2025
Rugged, western adventure- double shot of adventure- packed with sharp dialogue, explosive action, and a cast with charisma. The Professionals is quickly paced and a perfect experience for those to try who aren't typically western fans. Burt Lancaster and Lee Marvin are a fun duo and the stunning Claudia Cardinale demands the screen.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's one of Brooks's more eloquent and witty films.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
It's a little dated and has a few shot-on-bad-studio-set moments, but on the whole it's an impressive film, even if you don't normally care for Westerns.

Scott Weinberg
A rock-solid piece of Western Adventure entertainment. Marvin, Lancaster & Palance!
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
An exciting mix of twists and turns and adventuresome panache.
Variety
Variety Staff
Exciting explosive sequences, good overall pacing and acting overcome a sometimes thin script.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Underrated all-star western.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
It's 'guys on a mission' time in this wonderful but improbable tale.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
I don't know if this film fits into what some film historians call the 'Golden Age of Hollywood Westerns,' but it certainly belongs in the top tier of the Western genre. It is expertly written, directed and acted by top Hollywood talent.
TV Guide
A truly adventuresome, action-filled film that is played more for thrills than for conveying a story.
Epoch Times
Ian Kane
Minor complaints aside, "The Professionals" is a solid, south-of-the-border adventure yarn set during the waning days of the Mexican Revolution.
