Critic Reviews of "Fail-Safe"
New York TimesOctober 21, 2015It packs a melodramatic wallop that will rattle a lot of chattering teeth.
VarietyJune 29, 2011It faithfully translates on the screen the power and seething drama of the Eugene Burdick-Harvey Wheeler book.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006Lumet sensibly avoids pyrotechnics in favour of tightening the psychological screws ...
Film4October 21, 2015Not only a damn good thriller, but a terrifying account of how easily such technology can malfunction.
EmanuelLevy.ComJuly 03, 2011Lumet's tense political drama is riveting, but unfortunately it was released the same year as Kubrick's similarly-themed Dr. Strangelove, which was a satire and more thus more popular
Cinema em CenaFebruary 02, 2009Lumet, o mais subestimado dos diretores, mantém a tensão sempre constante, extraindo ainda grandes atuações de seu elenco e investindo num desfecho impactante e corajoso.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsJuly 19, 2007Tense, chilling and earnest Cold War political thriller.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)October 20, 2004Still impressive Cold War thriller from a time when WW III seemed inevitable.
Your Movies (cleveland.com)August 08, 2002Wow! One of the scariest black and white films of all time.
