Another old suspence film. Hitchcock sometimes has these moments where the actor's/actress' skin is glowing, which is very random I guess but I really like it.

The tension bubbles under nicely until the bus scene, which is fantastic and absolutely packed with suspense (and referenced in Inglourious Basterds, funnily enough). It falls a bit flat after that, but it's still worth a watch. Great cinematography, even this early in Hitchock's career, a few comic moments, and a surprisingly dark edge.

Exciting thriller. Strikingly filmed by Hitchcock.

It's quite ok but I was really happy it lasted only for 70 minutes. It's young Hitchcock and this one is just his first attempts. So, we all know what was then.

Lots of gloomy photography and sharp editing can't save this from being painted with very bold and obvious strokes. There's no tension to be had because you practically know everything from the start. It's a boring wait for the inevitable.

Didn't care about any of the characters.

This one freaked me out! Very grim and modern. A nice Hitchcock surprise.

Some nice Hitchcockian touches, including plenty of his trademark tension and wit, and quite a bit of emotional depth. Surprisingly dark, with an ending that can only barely be called "happy".

Early Hitchcock, this movie is watchable, but no where in the same zip code as Al's later films you might know and love. Sabotage is also well acted, but in that sorta-corny 1930's way of acting. You know, how everybody talks really fast, as if they have 3 hours of dialogue to fit into a 90 minute movie. But I'd see it again if it were already on AMC or TCM.

Hitch was still mastering his art at this point and the quality of the film suffers, but one can definitely tell it is a Hitchcock, and therefore it's good.

The bomb scene is fantastic and surprising, and I laughed at the cartoon echoing the situation in the movie itself. Other than that, it's a bit average for Hitchcock.

A decent film with a few excellent sequences. In particular, the bus ride and the dinner scene after that do an excellent job building suspense. Hitch also throws in a few standard "make you jump" scenes that spice up the proceedings a bit. That said, the romantic subplot borders on the ridiculous and pretty much everything with the cop plays strangely. The opening scene when the lights go out is effective at setting the overall tone for the film though. Overall, good, but not great.

good movie I'm just not really into spy flicks

Classic '30's Hitch. The drain, the minute hand, the carving knife and a great performance by Sylvia Sidney. Highly recommended.

Made in 1936 but feels more like 1906 - it aged horribly. I would only recommend this to diehard Hitchcock fans and even then I would warn them. But on the plus side, it's only 76 minutes so that's not too bad.

Great early Hitchcock; sure it's dark, but it foreshadowed the director's darker, later works, and best personifies his pessimism.
