This movie blew me away. After watching this I could not believe how many movies I've seen that have structured themselves after this one. Morricone's score is amazing, it tells a story on its own.

One of the most powerful films I have seen since The 400 Blows. The way Pontecorvo constructs tension is so masterful. His subjects are unglamourous. His intention is clear, but still evenly bipartisan. His talent is obvious.

A fascinating film by a fascinating man. He took his political convictions and based them in lyrical images, creating poetry...he put a face to a cause and he did not skirt problematic topics. Battle of Algiers is strong as steel: its influence continues to set the standard for all filmmakers.

A remarkable film that was actually used by the United States Army in the 1960s to show how terrorism was successfully used and how the military can engage and defeat terrorists.

Essential viewing experience for all. Key film of the sixties reflecting not just the political struggle in Algeria but the political consciousness of a generation. Film connects on so many levels and is still unfortanately totally relevant today. Pontecorvo's docu-style delivery here transports the viewer directly into the events unfolding. It reallly doesn't get much better. The music score is perfection.

The documentary style is interesting, but not quite the classic I was led to believe that it would be.

I was really disappointed w this. The narrative was poor and the camera work was a combination of bad and really good at times. Frustrating because it's a cool story.

a dark strange movie created with an interesting new cinematic vision with that documentary style. a strong movie that builds itself through an innovative , daring and ambitious scrypt and really strong realistic directing though its lot weakness and draw backs in the technical aspects especially the editing........overall , a very special distinct cinematic experience that is it for sure a must see one.
