Critic Reviews

Has more originality, nitty-gritty humor, spirit and spunk than all the summer blockbuster retreads combined. Underneath the jousting and jiving, there's a sharp, uncompromising look at the anatomy of a race riot in the movie. [30 June 1989, Daily Notebook, p.E3]Full Review

Judy Stone
San Francisco Chronicle

This is a fascinating movie experience. [30 June 1989, Life, p.1D]Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

This is a sumptuous work, from its unconventional title sequence of a woman dancing hard in the streets to its provocative ending with conflicting quotes from Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr .[30 June 1989, Friday, p.A]Full Review

Gene Siskel
Chicago Tribune

It comes closer to reflecting the current state of race relations in America than any other movie of our time.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Stirred up impassioned debate everywhere; it would seem the greatest compliment that could be paid a stunning entertainment. [30 June 1989, Calendar, p.6-1]Full Review
