Some interesting race-related points are raised, but Van Peebles disappoints by focusing instead on the standard elements of the genre.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
An overdirected, overphotographed, overdone movie that is so distracted by its hectic, relentless style that the story line is rendered almost incoherent.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
