There's no denying it's powerful stuff, which, for want of a better phrase, really packs a punch.

The movie's dogged humorlessness, and its sixties-style cant, don't do justice to all the political crosscurrents in this story.

Beautifully crafted and uplifting.

Startlingly inept coming from a generally accomplished director like Norman Jewison.

Denzel dazzles in biopic of imprisoned boxer.

Facile and unpersuasive.

A reminder that there's still a lot to be said for the good old-fashioned inspirational Hollywood movie.

The film, directed by Norman Jewison, feels a bit too simple for such a complex story, but Washington transcends the problems to provide his best acting since Malcolm X.

The film has genuine impact, and I'm betting that leading and supporting Oscar nominations will follow.

Stirring but schmaltzy.

There is a talented supporting cast, but they are not given much opportunity to break out of the two-dimensional symbolism they are cloaked with in the script by Armyan Bernstein and Dan Gordon.

Give director Norman Jewison credit for two things: 1) He made the movie; 2) He let Washington run away with it.
