"Exciting and tautly directed the lengthy robbery scenes are exemplary it's moody to the dying frame, emphasised by Harold Rosson's lighting of trash-filled back-alleys and half-lit clip joints and Miklós Rozsa's haunting theme music."
- Time Out London
"Much imitated, The Asphalt Jungle was one of the first caper films to show a crime and its consequences from the criminals' point of view. It's one of director John Huston's most gritty and suspenseful films, centering on a recently paroled criminal's scheme to make one last big hit."
