Critic Reviews of "The Longest Yard (1974)"
VarietyAugust 04, 2008An outstanding action drama, combining the brutish excitement of football competition with the brutalities of contemporary prison life.
TIME MagazineAugust 04, 2008What saves it, aside from good performances by Burt Reynolds and a thundering herd of supporting grotesques, is, of all things, a tough, tiny nut of valid social criticism.

FulvueDrive-in.comFebruary 18, 2006The original has just the right mix of toughness and humor. Burt Reynolds was born to play incarcerated quarterback Paul Crewe.
Bullz-Eye.comJuly 05, 2005The football sequences are excellent, which makes sense given that half of the actors were college or pro ballers themselves.
Reno Gazette-JournalJune 02, 2005The film drags until it reaches the climactic football game, and the contest itself doesn't justify the two-hour run.
Combustible CelluloidMay 30, 2005One of Robert Aldrich's biggest hits, The Longest Yard (1974) combines his ferocious worldview with a new kind of rambunctious audience appeal...
