	Media	Author	Review
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"A tough, straightforward, well-acted movie (...) George C. Scott just continues to grow as an actor (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Vincent Canby The New York Times	"Kramer's approach to sheer entertainment (...) is rather plodding (...) Still, compared to his other recent films, 'Oklahoma Crude' comes very close to being refreshing"
		Chris Petit Time Out	"Things remain hampered by the curious casting, blatant overacting, and Big Country theme music."
		Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"[Dunaway] pushes 'Oklahoma Crude' to what it is today, a fascinating curio of its era that remains surprisingly relevant."
