A-
"It's a dark post-noir thriller enhanced by superb performances and sparkling black and white cinematography."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

B
"The problem with Le Doulos is that riding along with its plot...is an up-and-down process, having all the vacillating emotionality of a snowy day spent sledding--the thrill of the rapid descent, and the trudgery of the uphill return."  Cinepinion  Henry Stewart

3.5/4
"Le Doulos roots itself in traditional noir themes of providence, of loyalty and betrayal, of male codes of honor, and ultimately of man's inability to escape his lot in life."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager
