Review of Saboteur (1942)

Rating: 6/10 (14 November 2010)

Soboteur was a good action packed film, but not one that I could really get in to. There's no doubt that Hitchcock is a great director, but this film just didn't have all the qualities that a movie like Psycho did. There were some great aspects of cinematography, but the acting and script were a little weak. There were some bad lines that discredited the film. Visually the film is appealing, with probably the most famous shot of the Statue of Liberty's arm. It's a great aerial view of the monument. The exciting visual elements are what keep the film together, and keep the viewers attention. Maybe if I was more of a Hitchcock fan, I would appreciate the film more.
