Reviews
Despite being released in the late 1960s, Grand Slam has garnered a mix of reviews that reveal both its strengths and weaknesses. With a score of 6.8/10 on IMDb, it certainly has its fans who appreciate its ambitious heist plot and stylish direction. However, critics often point to its flaws, with Rotten Tomatoes reflecting a lukewarm reception at only 33% approval. The New York Times stated that "the film tries to juggle too many plot devices and ultimately loses its way," highlighting concerns over the pacing and coherence of the narrative. Meanwhile, users on IMDb praise Janet Leigh's performance, with one user claiming, "She brings a magnetic charm that elevates the film's otherwise shaky script." On Metacritic, the film holds a score of 50, indicating mixed or average reviews. Some fans argue that it is a hidden gem that deserves more recognition, while others echo the sentiments of critics who feel it falls short of its potential. Nevertheless, 'Grand Slam' remains a unique entry in the heist genre, appealing to those who enjoy intricate plots and classic 60s cinema.
