Spy Thriller - Journey Into Fear review by NO

Rather dated but interesting old film.Photography was good but action poor.No surprises except to see

Orson Welles in a good character role.Worth seeing as a "B" film.

Good atmosphere, and a few good moments, but overall surprisingly bad - Journey Into Fear review by MS

Considering how good the cast is, 'Journey into Fear' is surprisingly bad. The plot is badly worked out -- a major flaw for a suspense film, and the characters aren't developed, either. It's very short -- but still tedious. Potentially interesting characters are introduced, only to be immediately dropped. And the story is so undeveloped, it just isn't convincing, even in its own terms. There are a few well-shot Hitchcock-esque atmospheric scenes -- particularly of the assassin -- but it ain't Hitchcock.

Disappointing - Journey Into Fear review by mr

Given the cast and the Eric Ambler book on which it is based, "Journey into Fear" disappoints throughout, and even the great Orson Welles struggles to give a convincing performance. Joseph Cotton underwhelms. Some good camera work but overall a boring film that fails to hold your attention.
