Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Saboteur is the weakest effort I've seen from Hitchcock. Most of Hitchcock's plots don't make a damn bit of sense when you stop and think about them for 2 seconds, but Saboteur's is especially convoluted. Throw in strange characterizations, propagandizing, and an awkward scene with circus freaks, and it's a mess. The film, like North by Northwest, manages to breeze from a factory in California to a climactic confrontation at the Statue of Liberty with surprising ease, but aside from an interesting, albeit mustache-twirling, villain, there's not much here that's must-see.
