The escape sequence has the spatial intricacy of the heist in Dassin's Rififi, but the tone is tougher, bleaker, and more suspenseful.

Chicago Reader
...[Hume Cronyn's] most memorable screen role... -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
USA Today
Rating: 4/5 --
Producer Joan Harrison, who seems to have profited from a long association with Alfred Hitchcock, and Director Irving Pichel have created mounting suspense which comes to a distinctly surprising and explosive climax as the jury brings its verdict.

New York Times
Bristling, biting dialog by Richard Brooks paints broad cameos as each character takes shape under existing prison life.

Variety
This is one of Dassin's best films.
Time Out
It's a stark, nihilistic anti-fascist allegory built around the repellent figure of Hume Cronyn's slipper, sadistic warden and the young Burt Lancaster's anguished grace.

Rating: 2/5 --
Moralista, misógino e maniqueísta, este é um filme terrivelmente datado que tem como principal mérito o fato de ter sido fundamental para alavancar a carreira de Lancaster.
Cinema em Cena
Product Description:
Joe Collins, an inmate of Westgate prison, schemes with a group of convicts to breakout. He's intent on reaching his love, who does not know he's in prison but will not have a lifesaving operation until he's at her side. The escape plan goes awry when Capt. Munsey, the prison guard and Joe's enemy, gets a tip-off and greets them in a machine-gun shoot out.
