Reviews

Los Angeles Times - Sheila Benson
Stirred up impassioned debate everywhere; it would seem the greatest compliment that could be paid a stunning entertainment. [30 June 1989, Calendar, p.6-1]

Chicago Tribune - Gene Siskel
This is a sumptuous work, from its unconventional title sequence of a woman dancing hard in the streets to its provocative ending with conflicting quotes from Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr .[30 June 1989, Friday, p.A]
100
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
It comes closer to reflecting the current state of race relations in America than any other movie of our time.
100
San Francisco Chronicle - Unnamed
Has more originality, nitty-gritty humor, spirit and spunk than all the summer blockbuster retreads combined. Underneath the jousting and jiving, there's a sharp, uncompromising look at the anatomy of a race riot in the movie. [30 June 1989, Daily Notebook, p.E3]

The New York Times - Vincent Canby
A remarkable piece of work. [30 June 1989]
