    I first watched this movie as a teenager and it has always stuck with me. The acting is phenomenal. Howard Rollins and Adolph Caesar are amazing!! I've watched this movie several times and always manage to notice something new. The plot is timeless. Must see!!

    I remember when I was a child I watched this movie for the first time with my parents. Although I didn't understand everything the movie had to offer at a young age, it was soon understood as I became older and watched the movie many different times. From VHS to Blueray and now digital media, I bought this moive on every platform. Truly a classic and a must see!

    This is really a great movie. The story is gripping and pierces issues which are as relevant today as they where during the time period this film depicts. One of those films that I just get hooked into watching everytime it comes on television. I will be buying this movie.
