Leia W Mar 26, 2019 It starts with a great mystery premise and great cast going for it, but as it goes, it takes additional steps through coincidence and contrivance, finally coming to an abrupt, unsatisfying end. See more

Feb 2, 2019 The best thrilling movie ever made!

Kylo R Dec 23, 2018 The first in a series of Hitchcock films I'll be reviewing and let's say this definitely isn't one of his most well known directed films. Saboteur follows an aircraft plant worker named Robert Cummings (Barry Kane) who is accused of sabotaging an aircraft leading to the death of people at his factory. On the run from the law Robert comes across a young lady named Patricia Martin (Priscilla Lane) who at first doesn't trust Robert, but soon realizes he's an innocent man. The two eventually find a much deeper conspiracy involving a group of Nazi spies lead by an American philanthropist named Charles Tobin (Otto Kruger). The two have to work together to prove Robert's innocence and stop the evil group from sabotaging an American Battleship. The movie isn't terrible, nor did I think it was particularly my cup of tea. I found it to be very slow paced (which let's face it a movie from 1942 kinda isn't a shocker for me). Hitchcock does a good job of building suspense here (his trademark) especially during certain sequences like the scene at the Statue of Liberty for example is well done. I can't really say its well acted since I think a lot of older actors during this time just kinda all seem the same (yes I'm being that guy right now). I didn't think Patricia adds much to this movie and kind of takes away from the plot a bit at times. This movie easily could have been twenty minutes shorter and while that may sound blasphemous because I'm talking about a Hitchcock film I think most people would agree with me here. Not the best start, but it's not a total dumpster fire yet. See more

Abraham S Oct 9, 2018 Definitely not Hitchcock's best, but still OK. MAIN CHARACTER's actions didn't make a lot of sense, could've just not ran and told what he knew, and it's like he was trying to get killed towards the end. See more

Luke M Sep 20, 2018 Saboteur is another of Hitchcock's movies about an innocent man, wrongfully accused, on the run. What sets this movie apart from the others is its finale on the Statue of Liberty. Nevertheless, this film suffers from some issues with editing, where some scenes run too long, and other scenes are cut too short or not included at all. It's a good movie, but it feels like it was rushed to production. See more

Han M Sep 17, 2018 Primo film che vedo di Hitchcock e ne sono rimasto soddisfatto, semplicemente perché il film mi è piaciuto e mi ha annoiato un pochettino soltanto in una piccola parte di film, ovvero quando Barry e Pat si trovano nella casa della signora Sutton. La trama si lascia seguire tranquillamente e dall'inizio alla fine è un continuo spostamento che si conclude alla Statua della Libertà ed è proprio lì che Barry riguadagna finalmente la libertà. Buona pellicola, realizzata benissimo e che ancora adesso funziona. Mi è piaciuto. See more
