Reviews

Washington Post - Unnamed
As always, Lee fills his story with bold, vivid, glib characters who manage to be entertaining even as they flail at one another.
88
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Although Clockers is... a murder mystery, in solving its murder, it doesn't even begin to find a solution to the system that led to the murder. That is the point.
80
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
Clockers, Lee's eighth feature in nine years, demonstrates how accomplished a filmmaker he has become, securely in control of plot, actors and imagery.
78
Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
This is the first Spike Lee Joint that feels more like a mainstream Hollywood cops-in-the-'hood picture and less like one of Lee's recurrent soapboxes.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Ultimately, Clockers probably attempts too much, and ends up seeming overcrowded as a result.
