Reviews
|
Los Angeles Times -
An all-stops-out rabble-rouser that hurls a broadside at America's medical insurance crisis.
|
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
This is an A-list cast toiling on a C-list screenplay.
|
|
New York Post -
Not a movie but a live-action agitprop cartoon so shameless and coarse, it's almost funny.
|
|
Christian Science Monitor -
It's as forgettable as they come.

|
Slate -
Denzel Washington is so powerfully earnest an actor that you never want to laugh at him -- even when you ought to be in stitches.
