4.5/5
"Not only did Wilder pillory the media in Ace in the Hole, he made monkeys out of everyone. Look at you, he said, you eat this drivel with both hands."

Christopher Null
B-
"Thoroughly cynical film noir."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
4/4
"Not unlike Fritz Lang’s equally misanthropic
Scarlet Street
,
Ace in the Hole
plays the squashing of one man’s human spirit for societal-weary gravitas."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
"As a filmmaker, the problem with being ahead of your time is that most audiences/critics/quasi-Luddites won't like your movie."
Pretentious Musings
Kevin Koehler
3.5/5
"The
Network
of the newspaper age."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
2/5
"Excessively overrated Billy Wilder bile-bath, with Kirk Douglas at his teeth-gnashing hammiest."
Film Threat
Phil Hall
10/10
