...The film is masterful in its control of acting and visual style....LE SAMOURAI is as finished and polished as a film can be...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 4/4 --
A major work from a highly influential director -- Walter Hill and John Woo have both taken a lesson or two -- yet one whose films have been, until now, inexplicably neglected in the U.S.

TV Guide
4 stars out of 5 -- With minimal amounts of violence but maximum style....Simply, the coolest film ever.
Rolling Stone
Cold, masterly, without pathos, and not even particularly sympathetic; it has the noble structure of accuracy.

Melville's film had a major influence in Hollywood.

Rating: 4/4 --
It combines stylish direction, an intelligent script, first-rate performances, and overpowering atmosphere into one of the most tense and absorbing thrillers ever to reach the screen.

Rating: 3/4 --
an enjoyably stylish entry in the French crime film tradition, but a decidedly minor one

Product Description:
When a stoic, icily professional assassin is witnessed leaving the scene of a nightclub "hit" by a barroom pianist who doesn't let on to the cops, he discovers that he's being set up for something worse than jail. New wave noir from Melville, the tough-guy darling of the "Cahiers du Cinema" crowd. Based on the novel "The Ronin" by Joan McLeod.
