A startling film about a young South African boy's coming of age under the tutelage of three spiritual elders.

Spirituality and Practice
A violent cartoon that trivializes apartheid. If there's any justice, the birds of loneliness will be circling the box office.

Rolling Stone
It's resounding bunk, candied over with the lush music of Johnny Clegg and hyped to death by director John ("Rocky") Avildsen.

Pasadena Weekly
Rating: 1.5/5 --
The film's facile treatment of racial issues may be enough to bring back the practice of throwing tomatoes at the screen.
New York Times
Avildsen draws good performances from the three actors who play PK, as well as from the ever-reliable Freeman and Müller-Stahl, but subtlety is abandoned when he focuses on the ring and teen romance.

Time Out
Rating: 2.5/4 --
"The Power of One" begins with a canvas that involves all of the modern South African dilemma, and ends as a boxing movie. Somewhere in between, it loses its way.

Description by OLDIES.com:
An orphan terrorized for his family's political beliefs, young PK turns to his only friend: a kindly, world-wise prisoner (Morgan Freeman) who teaches him how to box. Little beat big when little smart. the prisoner tells Pk. First with the head, then with the heart. Living by those words, PK (Stephen Dorff) fights with his fists and leads with his heart as he grows to manhood. He takes on the system and the injustices he sees around him - and finds that one person really can make a difference.
