News & Interviews for The Human Factor
Critic Reviews for The Human Factor
All Critics (6) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (4) | DVD (1)
This rigorous, compelling, radically stylized film represents the end point in a line of development that Otto Preminger had been pursuing since the late 60s.
The first part is the best aspect of the film. The second seems colder and more mundane. [Full Review in Spanish]
Director Preminger was handed his first project in five years, a great cast, and good material (based on a Graham Greene novel), and he came up with this anemic little thriller.
It remains a well-crafted but rather tedious effort, with only the sparkling performances from its outstanding cast giving the film some spark.
The film is a triumph of missed opportunities, miscasting and misdirection, excused, if at all, by the fact that money ran out and Otto had to hock some paintings to finish it.
Audience Reviews for The Human Factor
Another great film from director Otto Preminger. It takes some time to get into the story, but after a while it becomes intriguing and unpredictable. Great acting, photography and music.
