Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Foxx does what he's supposed to. He steals his own show.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
29 Oct 2004
fresh:
Sure, it's the Jamie Foxx breakout role. But the movie around it is so systematically 'inspirational' that it comes perilously close to sabotaging the breakout.
– Peter Rainer,
New York Magazine/Vulture,
31 Oct 2004
fresh:
Vibrantly intelligent and tough-minded.
– David Denby,
New Yorker,
2 Nov 2004
fresh:
Eminently worth seeing.

Jamie Foxx's all-encompassing performance in the title role more than justifies the early Oscar gossip it has generated.
