Variety
pressA study of the urban dope-dealing culture and its toll on everyone who comes in contact with it, the picture has an insider's feel that is constantly undercut by the filmmaker's impulse to editorialize.
The Washington Post
pressAs always, Lee fills his story with bold, vivid, glib characters who manage to be entertaining even as they flail at one another.
Roger Ebert
