Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
There's something about seedy undersides that brings out the best (or at least the personal) in director Jerry Schatzberg ... though his Elia Kazan social consciousness could use a little toning down.

fresh:
A clever thriller with a lot of unbelievable scenes and a sappy ending, but two wonderful performances.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Schatzberg's major problems are lethargic pacing and a strained plot.
– Richard Harrington,

fresh:
Street Smart winds up being a bit too smart for its own good, but it's compelling and complex.

Is Morgan Freeman the greatest American actor?
