Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Something bewildering has happened in Richard Brooks's making of it, and it misses at being either Conrad or sheer entertainment cinema.
Rotten: Brooks, while capturing the spirit of adventure of the novel, only superficially catches the inner emotional and spiritual conflict of its hero.
Fresh: Brooks' adaptation of Conrad's novel is immeasurably better than its reputation.
