Review of The Offence (1973)

By Robert D (1,551) on 12 Apr 2010

Highly underated. Brilliant acting from Connery and Bannen…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Marko S (143) on 02 Oct 2009

At worst, the technique of splicing in a few frames here and there of Johnson's memories/pictures in the scenes is dated and doesn't entirely…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Ben S (1,411) on 21 Sep 2009

The more sparse, compelling elements of The Offence are punctuated with overt staginess and abrupt, over-the-top moments…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Balazs F (6) on 20 Sep 2009

It's a really difficult watch…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Noah R (224) on 15 Jul 2009

Interesting but uneven crime drama from director Sidney Lumet…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Ethan E (66) on 17 Jun 2009

Fantastic central performance from connery. its definatley a hard film to swallow, a very depressing watch yet very well made…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Brad G (899) on 09 Apr 2009

A deeply disturbing movie with a helluva troubled performance from Sean Connery…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Dave A (564) on 07 Feb 2009

Certainly not the easiest film to watch - the lengthy duologues betray the film's theatrical origins - yet it remains a compelling viewing…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Sakari L (65) on 30 Jan 2009

An excellent yet rarely seen deliberately nasty 1970's drama about a nervous wreck cop and his child molester suspect…

By Lordbishop34 (34) on 01 Dec 2008

While I agree with Mr…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Andy L (621) on 29 Oct 2008

Quite stagey, but it works overall and it's a surprising role for a man I always considered to take his public image very seriously…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Douglas P (87) on 15 Sep 2008

Sidney Lumet directed this rarely seen but extremely tight crime drama adapted from a stage play by John Hopkins…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Ben G (949) on 30 Jul 2008

Real battling actors as connery and bannen go toe to toe for the best scottish actor in this film award takes the film up a level or two…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Simone P (41) on 20 Jun 2008

Gripping crime drama with a marvelous Sean Connery. Recommended only to mature viewers…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By J Rivers W (1) on 08 May 2008

Connery can act like a muh fucka. Lumet's direction is superb quite a disturbing little film…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Brian S (2,291) on 19 Apr 2008

AprÃ¨s le monumental The Hill, cassÃ© avec une imbÃ©cilitÃ© criminelle par Tavernier dans son dico du cinÃ©ma amÃ©ricain, The Offence…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Al N (54) on 19 Mar 2008

Grim yet compelling drama that is still shocking after all these years…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Grifty G (58) on 17 Feb 2008

Interesting film. Connery agreed to come back for one last Bond film in order to do this riskier unconventional movie…

Review of The Offence (1973)

By Gordon M (34) on 24 Jan 2008

James Bond is dull and camp…
