Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It is nervous and suspenseful from the start.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
The suspense of the manhunt in the swamps never really overcomes the dead weight of Kramer's 'message', but pleasures are to be found in the supporting roles of McGraw and Chaney.

fresh:
Kramer was never much of a director, but there's still power in some of the performances, especially Poitier's.
