The film has genuine impact, and I'm betting that leading and supporting Oscar nominations will follow.

Stirring but schmaltzy.

Facile and unpersuasive.

The film, directed by Norman Jewison, feels a bit too simple for such a complex story, but Washington transcends the problems to provide his best acting since Malcolm X.

A reminder that there's still a lot to be said for the good old-fashioned inspirational Hollywood movie.

Beautifully crafted and uplifting.

Startlingly inept coming from a generally accomplished director like Norman Jewison.
