4/5
"Touch of Evil is more than deserving of its status as a noir classic..."  Classic Movie Guide  A. J. Hakari

B-
"...embodies everything that is so exhilarating and maddening about Welles. Both inspired and confused, Touch of Evil is the work of a master who cannot quite give life on screen to what he imagines in his head."  AboutFilm.com  Carlo Cavagna

"Brilliant and difficult."  Philadelphia City Paper  Cynthia Fuchs

88/100
"If this is not his greatest film, Touch of Evil certainly is among Welles’ most entertaining."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

A+
"Truly one of the greatest films ever made..."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

8/10
"Even in underachievement Welles showed the truly magnificent scope of his talent and the excellent reputation of this film is, after all, well deserved."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

3/4
"Dark, sinister and not altogether comprehensible, this is nonetheless an intriguing study of the art of filmmaking."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

5/5
"a class act potboiler which still feels fresh and exciting"  Filmcritic.com  Jeremiah Kipp

8/10
"...as much about moviemaking as it is about storytelling."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

5/5
"Um estudo extremamente interessante sobre o caráter de um homem que, para agir de acordo com os seus princípios, não via mal algum em infringi-los."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

5/5
"Welles' outlandish visual talent is on full display as he puts noir movie conventions through the wringer and creates one of the most terrifyingly seedy yet utterly compelling films ever made."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

B
"Delightfully entertaining to watch, it is filled with interesting characters and it is playfully irreverent."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

"...Welles' baroque border-town murder mystery is a wild masterpiece, a sleazy, grimy, jittery, and ultimately dazzling work of cinematic magic."  Seattle Weekly  Sean Axmaker
