Critics reviews

Costa-Gavras’s direction is more competent than inspired; the film functions as a thriller, but only barely. What the movie has going for it, really, is a germ of an idea—but one that is potent enough to give this story a sharp and unsettling charge. That the movie deals with rabid American racism without hedging on either its ugliness or its intensity is itself an accomplishment of some note.
