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."

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."
