Critic Reviews for The Professionals
All Critics (17) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (2) | DVD (1)
Exciting explosive sequences, good overall pacing and acting overcome a sometimes thin script.
Underrated all-star western.
It was comprehensively eclipsed by Peckinpah's ostensibly similar The Wild Bunch.
It's 'guys on a mission' time in this wonderful but improbable tale.
An exciting mix of twists and turns and adventuresome panache.
The Professionals is a frustrated movie from the very beginning. It's a story of incoherent and chaotic adventures. [Full Review in Spanish]
Audience Reviews for The Professionals
The set-up of rough guys getting hired to free a kidnapped woman seems somewhat generic for Western films of that era, but the movie takes a few unexpected turns on the way. The action is plenty and filmed decently enough, the landscapes are absolutely gorgeous. Of course it still feels a bit dated but overall it's still a pleasant and entertaining experience from a time long gone.

Son of the Magnificent Seven - With few exceptions, westerns tend to follow a basic formula: bad guys, good guys, horses & guns. The Professionals isn't deep or cerebral but it is entertaining. A star-studded genre classic.

The Professionals Quotes
| Capt. Jesus Raza: | You want perfection, or nothing. The revolution was never perfect. We fight because we believe, we leave because we are disilliusioned, we return because we are lost, we die because we are committed. |
| Bill Dolworth: | To die for a woman is even more foolish, any woman, even her. |
| Bill Dolworth: | My word to Grant 'aint worth a plug nickle. |
| Rico (Henry Fardan): | You gave your word to me. |
| Hans Ehrengard: | Mr Grant, I can make 'em go, but I can't make 'em do. |
