Catch-22 ## What to Know Critics Consensus *Catch-22* takes entertainingly chaotic aim at the insanity of armed conflict, supported by a terrific cast and smart, funny work from Buck Henry and Mike Nichols. [Read Critics Reviews](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/catch_22/reviews) ## Critics Reviews View More John Mahoney The Hollywood Reporter 11/23/2014 Cynical and bitterly cold... \[Mike\] Nichols and \[Buck\] Henry fail to make an anti-capitalist film. They have made their case so strong that it becomes an anti-human film. Go to Full Review Time Out 02/09/2006 Though the vertiginously absurdist logic of the book is hopelessly fractured, some of it does filter through (the mostly superb performances are a great help). Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 10/23/2004 3/4 Nichols has done the same thing in "Catch-22" that he did in "The Graduate." He's given us a funny beginning, then switched tones and gone serious. Go to Full Review Christopher Lloyd The Film Yap 07/24/2023 4/5 The late Alan Arkin enjoyed one of the all-time great "that guy" film careers, such a reliable utility player people forget his leading role in Mike Nichols' adaptation of the Joseph Heller novel.

Critics Consensus *Catch-22* takes entertainingly chaotic aim at the insanity of armed conflict, supported by a terrific cast and smart, funny work from Buck Henry and Mike Nichols. [Read Critics Reviews](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/catch_22/reviews) John Mahoney The Hollywood Reporter 11/23/2014 Cynical and bitterly cold... \[Mike\] Nichols and \[Buck\] Henry fail to make an anti-capitalist film.

John Yossarian (Alan Arkin), a pilot stationed in the Mediterranean who flies bombing missions during World War II. Attempting to cope with the madness of armed conflict, Yossarian struggles to find a way out of his wartime reality. Surrounded by eccentric military officers, such as the opportunistic 1st Lt. Milo Minderbinder (Jon Voight), Yossarian must resort to extreme measures to escape his dire and increasingly absurd situation.
