“Lang presents one of the great works of film noir.” – Film4
“Fritz Lang’s greatest masterpiece of film noir… as deceptive and two-faced as anything Lang ever made, with its sunny domestic tranquility precariously separated from a world of violence. 4 Stars.” – Roger Ebert
“[The Big Heat] starts with a tight, believable screenplay by Sydney Boehm and goes on from there through tense, forceful direction by Fritz Lang and topnotch trouping led by Glenn Ford.” – Variety
