Critic Reviews for Madigan
All Critics (10) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (1) | DVD (1)
Siegel aims for a documentary style with Widmark as Madigan, but the film and its provocative politics are steeped in the essence of the swinging 60s and falter considerably in its achievements when compared to other period films.
Gritty and low-key.
The real juice of the films is their ranginess, that they give you a lot, the zest for what a city contains, and the flatness. These movies work partly because they are exploiting the fairly unplumbed field of pessimistic observing rather than action.
Don Siegel's proficient acioner launches a whole cycle of urban movies about cops (the good and the bad), including Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry.
A pleasing but disjointed film noir.
Attempt for realistic cop story works half the time.
Audience Reviews for Madigan
Great cast, middling script. Widmark is tough but hints at a vunerablity under that facade. Henry Fonda sort of walks through his role but it doesn't really ask much of him. Good period feeling which at the time may have been incidental but now gives you a sense of it's time. Inger looks amazing with some gravity defying hair but she's unfortuantely wasted in the wife role.
