Critic Reviews of "The Offence"
TIME MagazineMay 12, 2015Lumet's direction strives to give to material that is neither edifying nor suspenseful a fake profundity, stretching it to unconscionable lengths.
VarietyApril 04, 2011There's a powerful confrontation of authority and accused between police sergeant Sean Connery and suspected child molester Ian Bannen in Sidney Lumet's The Offence. A brilliant scene, however, does not in itself make for a brilliant overall feature.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006Embedded in a 'realistic' police scene, dialogue and situations now have a ring of arty melodrama. Fascinating, nevertheless, with outstanding performances from Connery and (especially) Bannen.
New York TimesMay 09, 2005It's highly theatrical -- perhaps just a little too highly theatrical for the more or less realistic context -- but it's been staged by Lumet for maximum effect.
Times (UK)May 12, 2015The third collaboration between Sean Connery and the director Sidney Lumet is an unsettling glimpse into the toxic mind of a policeman who has been polluted by the horrors witnessed over the course of his career.
Radio TimesMay 12, 2015Gritty police programmes are now so much a part of the TV landscape that it is hard to realise that a feature like The Offence once packed quite a punch.
CinePassionMay 12, 2015This unrelentingly somber policier inaugurates a newfound force in Lumet's work.
TV GuideMay 12, 2015A powerful and complex performance by Connery is somewhat weakened by Lumet's typically stiff and stagey direction.
The SkinnyApril 16, 2015The Offence presents audiences with an overwhelmingly bleak rumination on evil.
Fantastica DailySeptember 21, 2005A fascinating and intense psychological thriller. This is one Connery fans should seek out.
Film4May 24, 2003Although the story has become a staple of films and TV police dramas since this, it still hasn't been done quite so well.
