Schaffner conduz a trama com segurança absoluta, permitindo que o espectador junte as peças do quebra-cabeças ao mesmo tempo em que seu diligente e improvável herói, vivido de forma espetacular por Olivier (mas Peck também merece aplausos).March 26, 2009
With two excellent antagonists in Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier, The Boys from Brazil presents a gripping, suspenseful drama for nearly all of its two hours -- then lets go at the end and falls into a heap.March 27, 2009
Dark thriller that does its best but ultimately doesn't completely convince.September 24, 2004
Silly.March 03, 2008
It's more a silly and unbelievable pic than a bad one, but very watchable.March 27, 2009
The plot is less suspenseful than the overacting contest between the two leads, Laurence Olivier and Gregory Peck, who spend most of their screen time one-upping each other in affectations.June 24, 2006
The answer should have made a great thriller, but the film is sunk by a series of preposterous performances.April 11, 2007
The film loses the little credibility that Ira Levin's potboiler had, but helmer Schaffner was smart to cast Olivier as Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal and to surround him with superb actorsApril 02, 2003
Too funny to dislike.March 27, 2009
Fast-paced, gripping and totally ludicrous.January 18, 2004
Gregory Peck is miscast, but the film is entertaining enough.January 05, 2015
This is a terrifically chilling entertainment, one that deserves a spot alongside the best paranoid thrillers of the 1970s.
