San Francisco Chronicle
It turns out that Pepe Le Moko is even better than "Algiers."

Boston Globe
Foreign intrigue is raised to an art form.

New Times (L.A.)
Not to be missed. And pay close attention to the finale. It's a genuine surprise.

Christian Science Monitor
This masterpiece of poetic realism features one of Gabin's most renowned performances, a smart subtext about French colonialism, and enough exotic atmosphere to keep your head in the clouds long after the final scene.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Above all, the film is a classic of "poetic realism," that distinct brand of pessimistic '30s French urban drama that gave lyrical, sometimes even surrealistic, interpretations to working-class romances and underworld characters, settings and dramas.

New York Daily News
The movie elevated the basic gangster picture into what became known as the niche genre of poetic realism. And, aside from Garbo, never have key lights on a star's face caused so much swooning among fans.

Variety
Interesting movement holds through the entirety. Life in the native quarter, with its squalor and intrigues, is particularly well presented and photographed.

Es una película que, de forma estética, es bastante interesante y refrescante. Mostrar esa parte de Argelia, sin duda, añade un toque de variedad en el paisaje, ya que es muy diferente a lo que generalmente se mostraba en esa época. Es lamentable que la historia que cuentan no sea ni de cerca igual de interesante o sorprendente. Es, en ese sentido, más de lo mismo: un capo, alguien que tiene infinidad de experiencia, que tiene todo a su disposición, desde dinero, manjares, hasta todas las mujeres del lugar. Extrañamente, cae ante un enamoramiento muy mal llevado. Es, sin duda, inverosímil, y terminas sintiéndote decepcionado al ver cómo termina el gran capo. Se podría argumentar que esa falta de libertad lo llevó a eso, podría, pero está mal llevada la trama para que creamos en esa posibilidad. Casi una buena película.
