"One of my ton ten films of all time!"

Linda Kelly
"Legit deserves its praise as among the best movies ever made. The screenplay, score and acting (especially those of Marlon Brando, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger, Karl Malden and Eva Marie Saint) are especially top notch. Everyone should watch this at least once IMO."

"It’s pretty good for a classic, but really, these days, we’re just watching cuz of Brando. “I could of been a contender…” the delivery is still exquisite. "
Ryan Kennedy
"Its all your conscience. Brando ,the cinematography and music score are the true stars of this film. An ending that was much more spiritual than I had anticipated but powerful. Unions!"

"It’s a CLASSIC! One of Brando’s finest performances. He won an Oscar for this role. And the subject matter is somehow always timely. Definitely give it a watch! "
