"'Against All Odds' is so lively and enjoyable on its own terms that its genre problems, while real, are easily overlooked." | POS |
United Kingdom |
Empire | "This is about as noir as Pete’s Dragon, best to accept its superficiality as a boon - Hackford, at least, gives it a slick exterior - and enjoy it is a vacuous thriller" | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"There is a lot of plot in this movie - probably too much. The best thing to do is to accept the plot, and then disregard it, and pay attention to the scenes of passion. They really work." | POS |

"It begins promisingly.... But the film has no center, succumbs to drift, and gets away from Hackford" | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"Little remains of the original but its weakest element - its overelaborate intrigue - and Hackford seems only to scramble it further." | NEG |
|
United States |
TV Guide | "Not even a bravura performance from Woods, some steamy love scenes between Bridges and Ward, and a thrilling daylight car chase down Sunset Boulevard can pull this confusing remake out of the doldrums." | NEG |
