It is moving, but not enough, not nearly enough to excuse the film or our enjoyment of the wanton slaughter to which the film has made us a participant.

Rating: B --
It works best as a complex macabre black comedy on family relations.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's certainly a wonderfully entertaining and well-crafted movie that plays perhaps better today than it did in 1971.

When the movie's over, you can't exactly say what it's meant to you.

Chicago Sun-Times
Seldom has any movie had more gratuitous gore, more simple-minded sadism or more mediocre melodrama. This gangster drama set in the 1930's outdoes Bonnie and Clyde in mayhem with far less reason and virtually no artistry.

Rating: 2/4 --
Not even one milligram of subtlety can be found anywhere in this picture, resulting in a grueling watch.

...THE GRISSOM GANG is original, arresting and, at times, violently funny...

Product Description:
Miss Blandish (Kim Darby), a young well-to-do heiress suffering from the emotional strain of overprotective parents, is kidnapped by a group of money-hungry thugs and thrust into a world of slums and poverty. As the Grissom Gang holds her for ransom, Miss Blandish begins a torrid love affair with their murderous leader, Slim (Scott Wilson), throwing a wrench in the family's plans to free her. Darby gives a complex and sultry performance as the pouty riches-to-rags debutante whose attraction to Slim seems driven by a spiky mixture of love, sex, and masochism. Director Robert Aldrich, after a triad of war films (FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX, DIRTY DOZEN, TOO LATE THE HERO), offers a slight change of pace with THE GRISSOM GANG, a violent, dramatic, and darkly funny film.
