Awesome job from the folks at Criterion Collection. Great analysis thrown in throughout the disc, elaborate special features. Totally worth your time!

Another great Melville film! If you get a chance, watch Delon in ‘Rocco and his Brothers’ and you’ll have a better appreciation of the actor’s style and diversity!

I don’t know much about art films, but Le Samourai delivers aesthetic and wonderful storytelling in spades. Rather than bog down the movie with dialogue, it opts for visual storytelling which it handled superbly by the truly talented actors. The music and sound design are top notch and it holds a level of immersion that one rarely experiences in films. This classic is definitely one to keep in your movie library!

A real masterpiece! Mr. Melville managed very well to show and prove his exceptional talent in this 1967 production. Everything about this "film-noir" is outstanding: Great story line, remarkable casting, wonderful acting, superb cinematography... The events take place within a period of less then three days and the focus of the film is a highly narcissistic contract killer. His "cool" demeanor and his approach to his work very well depicted. The secondary characters of the story are also well-chosen and they do their parts nicely.In addition, the "Special Features" of this Criterion print are invaluable; I think they desrve to be watched --after the film is viewed of course...

I like also the movie. The only thing I did not like is Alain Delon diedand I think there should be a continuation in this movie.

This is Alain Delon best film, Alain shows in this fantastic film that he is one of the best actors ever. A great character role in The Samourai, The Criterion Collection has polished this great film for image and sound, a pleasure to watch, even on DVD

I have seen this movie on VHS back on 80-es and it just stucked in my heart. I am really glad for this DVD 2 disc release by Criterion collection. Good transfer and very interesting stuff on second disc about Mellvile, about production and etc. Worth to have on your shelf.

Alain Delon sets the standard for "cool killer" characters in film. His performance marks the beginning of gangster as fashion icon, paving the way for Beatty & Dunaway in "Bonnie & Clyde" and Quentin Tarantino's "Resevoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction".Melville directs with fantastic visual flair and provides a great twist ending, too.
