Cover is a social-problem film without a solution. While not of the first rank, its inventory of Philadelphia's hot restaurants and cool sights is an occasion for civic pride.

Reviews for Cover
Director Bill Duke aims for social awareness, but delivers second-rate melodrama instead.
Would be a candidate for the year's most unintentionally funny movie so far - if it weren't also the most homophobic.
The flesh is weak but the spirit is indestructible in Cover, a ham-fisted morality tale.
