Rating: 4/4 --
It combines stylish direction, an intelligent script, first-rate performances, and overpowering atmosphere into one of the most tense and absorbing thrillers ever to reach the screen.

...The film is masterful in its control of acting and visual style....LE SAMOURAI is as finished and polished as a film can be...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 10/10 --
Working with and against genre conventions, Melville's movies are hushed, deadpan abstractions of space and gesture, restrained, refined, a palette reduced to essential colors and compositions.

Newcity
Rating: 4.5/5 --
[Melville's] style remains haunting and elegantly spare, just right for the kind of hit man who lives in silence, in bare and colorless surroundings, with a lonely caged bird.
New York Times
Rating: 4/4 --
A major work from a highly influential director -- Walter Hill and John Woo have both taken a lesson or two -- yet one whose films have been, until now, inexplicably neglected in the U.S.

TV Guide
Cold, masterly, without pathos, and not even particularly sympathetic; it has the noble structure of accuracy.

4 stars out of 5 -- With minimal amounts of violence but maximum style....Simply, the coolest film ever.

Product Description:
When a stoic, icily professional assassin is witnessed leaving the scene of a nightclub "hit" by a barroom pianist who doesn't let on to the cops, he discovers that he's being set up for something worse than jail. New wave noir from Melville, the tough-guy darling of the "Cahiers du Cinema" crowd. Based on the novel "The Ronin" by Joan McLeod.
