Critics' reviews
- "Its portrait of a loner and his lusts comes up frighteningly fresh, and the whole conceit would collapse without the muscular, rousing presence of Gian Maria Volont in the central role."
- "A provocative political thriller that is as troubling today as when it came out in 1970. Maybe more so."
- "The movie survives beautifully both as an elegant thriller and as a study of the twisted infantilism that shapes the fanatic heart."
- "A potent study of power as pathology."
