Variety

An uneven mixture of insider satire on the gumshow film genre, gratuitous brutality, and sledgehammer whimsy.

Time Out

Shot in gloriously steely colours by Vilmos Zsigmond with a continually moving camera, wondrously scripted by Leigh Brackett (who worked on The Big Sleep), and superbly acted all round, it's one of the finest movies of the '70s.

Attempts the impossible and pulls it off.

It tries to be all genre and no story, and it almost works.

BBC

As much a crisp comment on contemporary LA (and its full-on egotism) as a tale delineating Marlowe's crime-busting pursuits.
