Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Beautifully produced and gorgeously shot on location in Zimbabwe by lenser Dean Semler, picture has depth, dimension and first-rate casting.

rotten:
Avildsen draws good performances from the three actors who play PK, as well as from the ever-reliable Freeman and Muller-Stahl, but subtlety is abandoned when he focuses on the ring and teen romance.

rotten:
The film's facile treatment of racial issues may be enough to bring back the practice of throwing tomatoes at the screen.
– Janet Maslin,

rotten:
A violent cartoon that trivializes apartheid. If there's any justice, the birds of loneliness will be circling the box office.
– Peter Travers,

It's resounding bunk, candied over with the lush music of Johnny Clegg and hyped to death by director John ("Rocky") Avildsen.
