Carol Reed's first great postwar film. Full Review

Rating: 4/4 -- haunting and remarkable and utterly uncompromised Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- Reed's take on the material is innovative, letting realism blur into an anaemic, soul-searching delirium. Camera trickery is used to mind-bending effect and Odd Man Out's hallucinatory tone is often astonishing. Full Review

Shadow and rain and snow blur in glistening corrosion for a very long Irish night Full Review

Rating: 4.5/5 -- What begins as an exercise in realism that includes an exceedingly quiet, civil robbery sequence, become increasingly expressionistic as it goes along. Full Review

Carol Reed has made his film with deliberation and care, and has achieved splendid teamwork from every member of the cast. Occasionally too intent on pointing his moral and adorning his tale, he has missed little in its telling. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- It was the rat-tat-tat releases of 1947's Odd Man Out (good), 1948's The Fallen Idol (better) and 1949's The Third Man (best) that marked Carol Reed as a world-class filmmaker. Full Review

Product Description:

James Mason stars in this powerful suspense drama as Johnny McQueen, the leader of a quasi-IRA group. When he's wounded in a botched robbery, he becomes the object of an intense police manhunt and must scramble desperately about Belfast in an attempt to escape. Kathleen (Kathleen Ryan), the woman who loves him, also takes off in pursuit of Johnny, hoping to reach him before the police do. In the course of his flight, Johnny encounters an assortment of fascinating characters, making the film as much a portrait of a city as it is the drama of one man's life.
