Leave your thoughts about Just Cause.
| Washington PostDesson HoweOften graceful, sometimes brilliant, Poetic is an absorbing, amusing symphony of sound and image; it also gives equal weight to its male and female characters. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleDespite a few shortcuts and some small but nagging inconsistencies -- not to mention weak performances in a couple of key roles -- Just Cause delivers. |
| The Associated PressDolores BarclayIt's a rich, humid mix of race, murder, and mystery that works well, even if it doesn't work perfectly. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumGood crime flick with strength in casting of Sean Connery. |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisConnery is sadly lacking in vigour, and the script rarely sparkles. But the climax is cruelly effective. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...it's certainly impossible not to get a kick out of any film in which Sean Connery delivers the following line: "If that's a confession then my ass is a banjo!" |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannSubtitled “A Street Romance,” writer-director Singleton's sophomore effort touches the heart more when it's on the street than when it's making romance. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallDespite its tendency to tread well-traveled roads, Just Cause is filmed with enough energy and craft that, for the majority of its one-hundred minute running time, it's reasonably entertaining. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGlenn KennyBy the end of Just Cause, you’ll be wondering if the world really needed a second remake of Cape Fear. But its first two thirds are tense if not exactly taut, and Fishburne’s performance is a lesson in how a truly inspired actor can breathe quirky life into a tired cliché. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrAlthough its aspirations are high, the film works only fitfully when Mr. Singleton exercises his gift for vernacular speech, for finding the comic undertow in otherwise tragic situations, and even for parody. |
