Reviews

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
An all-stops-out rabble-rouser that hurls a broadside at America's medical insurance crisis.

Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
This is an A-list cast toiling on a C-list screenplay.
50
New York Post - Jonathan Foreman
Not a movie but a live-action agitprop cartoon so shameless and coarse, it's almost funny.
50
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
It's as forgettable as they come.

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