"A 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."

Variety

"As always, Lee fills his story with bold, vivid, glib characters who manage to be entertaining even as they flail at one another."

—

The Washington Post

"Although Clockers is... a murder mystery, in solving its murder, it doesn't even begin to find a solution to the system that led to the murder. That is the point."
