A wierd and ungainly mixture of obvious racial issues and pseudo-action material.

Were it not for John Travolta's big-hearted portrayal of an unemployed white factory worker driven to commit a desperate act, the movie would be an emotionally frozen exercise in cautious high-mindedness.

Manages to approach significant social issues, but falters in its melodrama.

A look at color relations that's likely to be more compelling for nonurban audiences than the latest take on drug dealing and gang banging in the 'hood.

Una sociedad en la que existe una raza dominante y una raza oprimida, casi como ahora, con la ligera diferencia de que ahora el racismo es al revés.

White Man's Burden spirals into tragedy but never into stirring drama. It stays stuck at the level of noble experiment.
