Shockproof Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Avoiding the conventional menacing shadows of film noir, Sirk offers something of a film blanc...
Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder
Nell Dodson Russell
This one will probably do a lot to raise the stock of probation officers as glamour boys, but criminologists may find it irritating.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Well done mixture of romance and film noir.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Captivating.
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
... a minor noir with Fuller's tabloid sensibility and Sirk's romantic gloss, directed with an economy that makes the most of its modest budget.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
In his own way, Sirk was as good a director as Fuller; here he emphasizes the complex, intense emotions of the lead characters, which helps guide the film over some of its plot hurdles.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A hamstrung potboiler.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Given its poetic nuances, it's a shame the film succumbs to cliché.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
A cheap 79-minute time-waster that's all business ...
New York Times
Matt Zoller Seitz
While Shockproof will inspire more groans than gasps, it's essential viewing for fans of Mr. Fuller and Mr. Sirk.
