Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The film remains an interesting oddity rather than entertaining or illuminating. Indeed, watching it today can seem hard work.

fresh:
Much of the montage is reductive and static, but some of the action scenes are genuinely stirring -- when he wasn't editorializing, the man really could cut film.
