"An incendiary movie. Derek Luke builds layers of tension over his character's emotional wounds, and conveys a ferocity that is staggering for its depth."

"Philip Noyce's direction is first-rate."
"The film opens with very powerful scenes. Director Phillip Noyce and screenwriter Shawn Slovo raise provocative, timely questions. Superb performances all around. Derek Luke transforms himself completely and achieves a series of electrifying moments. Philip Noyce's direction is first-rate. The crowd scenes have a bruising immediacy, and they thrust us right into the tumult."
