Customer Review: The Bottom Line: Though it's refreshing to see Denzel Washington play someone who isn't a saint, his character is evil just because the screenplay demands it, not because of any intrinsic reason; as a consequence, the movie never manages to be about anything but itself.
Customer Review: This movie works on the level of the general stroy and what was going on during the time and also as a sports movie.

Customer Review: I really liked this movie; acting, dialogue, photography. It all worked for me and I'm a fairly picky person. The historical aspect was new to me. I would recommend it without reservation.
Customer Review: Good story that unfortunately can be true. Denzel Washington did as expected a great job.

Sure, Lee inserts his views on race relations... more info
