"Was it all for naught? Only weeks after the 23 partisans were arrested (and all but two promptly executed), Paris was liberated. Army of Crime is a passionate act of remembrance." | |||
|
"It shouldn't be missed." | |||
|
"Guediguian's lengthy period yarn features a wide array of characters filmed with his habitual simpatico eye, but loses the dramatic thread in too many plots, too little action and not enough originality." | |||
|
"Though it drags here and there and is a bit flat in places, the film is solidly made and for the most part quite involving." | |||
|
"Compelling performances and beautifully told heroics but the pacing is flawed in terms of a thrilling cinematic experience" |
