Movie Reviews

Monsters and Critics - 9/10 by Ron WilkinsonThe rough trip of South African anti-apartheid hero Patrick Chamusso from apolitical worker to galvanized revolutionary and the brutal Afrikaner regime that tried to contain him.
Flick Filosopher - 9/10 by MaryAnn JohansonWhen someone makes a movie, a quarter of a century from now, about the American occupation of Iraq, it's going to look like Catch a Fire, and it's going to be enraging.
Denver Rocky Mountain News - 9/10 by Robert DenersteinCatch a Fire may not substantially expand our understanding of the apartheid era, but the look and feel of South Africa pervade this film, giving it enough vibrancy and impact to compensate for what feels familiar.
Los Angeles Daily News - 9/10 by Bob Strauss[Derek] Luke, best-known for his headlining role in Antwone Fisher, plays Chamusso with grace and intelligence, but never quite locates his emotional mutation from get-along guy to hard-core revolutionary.
FilmStew.com - 9/10 by Brent SimonThis isn't a movie of stark, black-and-white villainy. Instead, you get a real sense of the controlling impulses that power breeds.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThough it was earnest in its heartfelt message, the film was not remarkable enough to make it memorable.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaLuke, who had the title role in Denzel Washington's directorial debut, "Antwone Fisher," is that rare actor who can convey profound inner conflict with just a look in his eye; his performance is attuned, astute and remarkable.
Globe and Mail - 9/10 by James AdamsThis one's a nail-biter, a fast-paced, compulsively watchable political thriller.
Associated Press - 9/10 by Christy LemireCatch a Fire is confident enough to depict the battle from all sides.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerPhilip Noyce's anti-apartheid drama is tense and thoughtful, if somewhat marred by Hollywood-style thrills.
