Top CriticWere 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.

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

Top CriticIt's undeniably fascinating to watch this hypothetical experiment for a while. But White Man's Burden starts to feel like an only-passable Twilight Zone episode stretched into a full-length movie.
