Deadline Ratings & Reviews
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Philip Martin
...it's not evil and it's enjoyable in the same way the really terrible movies featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000 were enjoyable (or at least it was for me and my jaded sensibilities)... a well-intentioned mess.
Film Journal International
David Noh
A case involving the murder of a black youth gets solved here, but absolutely nothing could help this numbingly awful, undoubtedly well-intentioned but who-cares-it's-so-bad farrago.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Has all the dramatic punch of a community theater production.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Too lifeless for Lifetime and too inept to do justice to its source material...
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The plot, in short, is underwhelming. It merely follows the reporters as the screenplay serves them the solution to their case on a silver platter.
Variety
John Anderson
Although helmer Curt Hahn champions the causes of racial justice and crusading journalism, he can't seem to find a tone that's consistent or that befits the gravity of his subject matter.
Village Voice
Ernest Hardy
The fact that real-life deadly racial animus in America is often cartoonish in its manifestation doesn't excuse Deadline's clich-ridden characterizations of bigotry.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
By the end of it, you'll be crying uncle--or wish you were watching The Help instead. At least that was a more artful lie.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
The acting is the strong suit of this 'cold case civil rights murder' drama, with songwriter J.D. Souther -- who resembles a more professorial Clint Eastwood -- making a particularly distinct impression.
