A prophetic scald
January 09, 2007
A lurid pulp indictment of exploitation, opportunism, doctored intelligence, torture for profit, insatiable greed, and shady journalism.

By no means a great -- or even a particularly good -- movie, but its sustained nastiness shows a stunning disregard for box-office niceties.
July 10, 2014
Over 60 years later, Ace in the Hole has lost none of its sharpness. The only thing that's hard to believe about the movie is that Wilder and his co-screenwriters could have been this far ahead of the curve in their criticism of the media.

"One hell of a whip-smart entertainment, sardonic and sad and always with the wisecracks."
August 29, 2014
Ace in the Hole is a revelation, as timely now as when it was made.
September 09, 2002
This 1951 film, about a cynical reporter who seizes on the plight of a man trapped in a mine shaft to promote his career, is cold, lurid, and fascinating, propelled by the same combination of moral outrage and sneaky admiration.
July 27, 2014
It's the most scabrous, uncompromised work from Billy Wilder, who never made a movie that wasn't kind of an asshole.
February 09, 2006
As a diatribe against all that is worst in human nature, it has moments dipped in pure vitriol.
September 08, 2014
Billy Wilder followed up Sunset Boulevard with this biting tale which cast a skeptical eye on the media and feels just as apropos in our age of 24-hour news.
September 09, 2002
Ace in the Hole is badly weakened by a poorly constructed plot, which depends for its strength upon assumptions that are not only naive but absurd.
