The New York Daily News comments: "With sunny patience, Holbrook plays an English teacher in this rehabilitation center, which is really a prison for young junkies, male and female and black and white. Pacino portrays the most evil of the studentsa fidgety, cocky monster if you ever saw one, and he has little chance of being 'cured' and winning a release. The most tense moments in TIGER come when Pacino visits the establishment's psychiatrist, David Opatashu, and vilifies and threatens this essentially gentle man. But the doctor persists until the young inmate tells of a sordid family life and how, after many years, he tracked down his father in a barber shop and beat himperhaps to death& Another good scene is one in which Holbrook's students put on a mad version of Dickens' Christmas Carol at holiday time. Among several well-written and admirably acted performances are those by Lazaro Perez, a harmless and charming maniac; Jon Richards, a veteran official of the institution, who looks timid but is hard as granite; and Jose Perez, a perverted and cynical young rebel. TIGER offers several slices of lifebut what a life?"
