Rousing thriller with creative fairground scenes and much about technology.February 09, 2006
Hitchcock erects a web of guilt around Granger, who 'agreed' to his wife's murder, a murder that suits him very well, and structures his film around a series of set pieces, ending with a paroxysm of violence on a circus carousel.January 15, 2004
Hitchcock was above all the master of great visual set pieces, and there are several famous sequences in Strangers on a Train.August 30, 2009
Winds up with a scene in which a merry-go-round goes wild, spins like a pin wheel, and crashes in a gaudy blaze of explosions that no earthly carrousel could touch off. The movie itself is the same way: implausible but intriguing and great fun to ride.February 13, 2001
Given a good basis for a thriller in the Patricia Highsmith novel and a first-rate script, Hitchcock embroiders the plot into a gripping, palm-sweating piece of suspense.January 02, 2011
Classic nail-biter is a must for thriller fans.August 01, 2008
the work most necessary for a deeper appreciation of Hitchcock's late masterpieces.May 05, 2012

Even more marvelous after a second viewingFebruary 04, 2008
Perhaps Strangers on a Train still hasn't yielded all its secrets.January 01, 2000
...his basic premise of fear fired by menace is so thin and so utterly unconvincing that the story just does not stand.
