Critic Reviews

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

    There's no backsliding, toward a conciliatory moderate conclusion. The passions and beliefs of black militants are presented head-on, with little in the way of comfort for white liberals.

  • , Film4

    Intelligently directed tale of urban revolt starring some of the finest black actors of the 60s.
