Singleton's powerhouse movie has the impact of a stun gun. [15 July 1991]

USA Today -
In a watershed year for black filmmakers, Singleton has made the punchiest feature debut in recent memory. Those who complain that Lee's characters tangle up his plots will savor Singleton's flawlessly crafted edges. [12 July 1991]

Los Angeles Times -
If people here feel trapped, despairing of a way out, it is Singleton's gift to make us empathize with their hopelessness, and make us wonder, along with them, how long this must go on.

Variety -
Ultra socially responsible, sometimes to the point of playing like a laundry list of difficulties faced specifically by the urban black community.
