Almost as impressive as Polanski's Chinatown and an extraordinary change of gear from one of the fine Czech New Wave's most notable alumni.

[Heard] is one of America's great lost actors.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2011

The film moves with an easy uncoerced swing: moment by moment, scene by scene, we are unsure what to think or where we are going. It is a fascinating, organically grown drama.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 23, 2011

An underrated classic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 23, 2011

Exceptional script, direction and performances make this elliptical neo-noir a forgotten classic.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 23, 2011

Like the '70s output of Pakula and Lumet, Ivan Passer's tense thriller stands as a classy monument to the paranoia of post-Watergate America.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 6, 2011

Suffers from a terminal case of creative indecision.

The result is nothing less than a modern masterpiece, and a film ripe for rediscovery.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 9, 2006

It's the sort of picture that never wants to concede what it's about. It is, however, enchanted by the sound of its own dialogue, which is vivid without being informative or even amusing on any level.
