Spies Ratings & Reviews
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
A very good mystery thriller if the audience can endure the first two parts which are puzzling and almost meaningless because of the quick changes of situations... But as it begins to knit, it holds the interest.
Film Comment Magazine
Elliott Stein
Spies is one of Lang's best films. That means one of the best films ever made.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Lang's beautiful expressionist touches are on display throughout... but at the same time, [he] attempts a new stark emptiness.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Erotic, mysterious, abstract, full of uncanny images and ideas, and rich with multiple identities and intrigue, this is essential viewing for anyone interested in the great director's work.
TV Guide
Fritz Lang's Spiesis a classic silent espionage thriller that served as the model for all future films of its type, from Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps to the James Bond series and beyond.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Lang's bravura system of trapdoors is a fearsome advance even upon Metropolis
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The spy thriller gets one's adrenaline going because of its breakneck pace and bizarre feel.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
Throughout the bewildering mass of scenes in the German production, Spies, there is always something to intrigue the eye despite the fact that it is impossible to make head or tail of the story.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Inventive, delightful, superbly made spy thriller.
Slant Magazine
Keith Uhlich
This is the Fritz Lang method: pose a question, then answer it, though never in any sort of predictable rhythm.

Jake Euker
Maybe there's a movie more entertaining than Spies; it's possible. But if so, this is one critic who would like to know its name.
