Top critics, in their words
Rhames' gravity and grace, Voight's pinched anguish as he wills himself to do right, the moving work of actors like Don Cheadle and Esther Rolle do much to redeem this film for human if not historical reality.

Neither the film's smug white bigots nor its uniformly noble blacks are well served by such oversimplification.
