| User ReviewMichael TDisturbing look at racism, with a nasty performance from Hopper. |
| User ReviewScott WDennis Hopper manages to create one of the most despicable villains ever supported by great performances by Hershey and Harris. |
| User ReviewMatthew BHarrowing drama about the mind and soul of an unrepentant racist. Dennis Hopper gives one of his finest performances. Director Stephen Gyllenhaal displays an excellent command of the medium. Pete Dexter adapted his own novel. |
| User ReviewJohn BGood but not great work by Dennis Hopper and Ed Harris. They try but the script does not provide them with enough to work with. |
| User ReviewKaila JWell put together. It does so much right technically in front and behind the camera. So where's the problem? Well...for all it's strengths in the storytelling, it's too ugly a film to be considered entertainment. |
