The film, directed by Norman Jewison, feels a bit too simple for such a complex story, but Washington transcends the problems to provide his best acting since Malcolm X.

Startlingly inept coming from a generally accomplished director like Norman Jewison.

Stirring but schmaltzy.

The film has genuine impact, and I'm betting that leading and supporting Oscar nominations will follow.

There is a talented supporting cast, but they are not given much opportunity to break out of the two-dimensional symbolism they are cloaked with in the script by Armyan Bernstein and Dan Gordon.

The movie's dogged humorlessness, and its sixties-style cant, don't do justice to all the political crosscurrents in this story.

Beautifully crafted and uplifting.

A reminder that there's still a lot to be said for the good old-fashioned inspirational Hollywood movie.

Facile and unpersuasive.

Give director Norman Jewison credit for two things: 1) He made the movie; 2) He let Washington run away with it.
