Industry Reviews
"...Stylish, lighter-than-air....Beautifully played by [Matthau and Jackson]..."
New York Times - Vincent Canby (09/26/1980)
"Director Ronald Neame's aim with HOPSCOTCH was to create a spy movie where no-one was so much as scratched, which he achieved by turning Brian Garfield's earnest novel into a light comedy."
Empire - Empire Staff (06/01/2008)
"With its cosy confrontations and bureaucratic bunglers, it's the caper mirror-image of the 1970s conspiracy thriller..."
Sight and Sound - Kate Stables (07/01/2008)
