Watchable...but not great.

Rating: 6/10 (3 December 2003)

Personally, I liked the fact that this was based on a true story. Denzel of course comes through because he's a brilliant actor. The movie plot itself is inspiring. However, there was no real "edge" to this movie. You figured that a movie based in the highly racial turmoil times of America, there would be more edge to this. Instead it was sugar coated by Disney. That is something I cannot forgive. Therefore as my summary states "Watchable, but not great".
5.5 out of 10.
