Leave your thoughts about Battlefield America.
| Village VoiceErnest HardyAlthough it's grotesque to see pre-teens stomping in underground warehouse-battle settings, at least Battlefield America's racial politics are interesting. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe editing in Battlefield America is super-speedy: Each shot lasts about three seconds, and then it's off. |
| Boston GlobeJeffrey GantzIf you're looking for a tough, streetwise film about urban kids who get together to enter a national hip-hop dance competition, Battlefield America is not your movie. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThere's likely an audience for the cloying and dizzying hip-hop dance flick Battlefield America, but even the most forgiving viewers may feel like they've been underestimated - and underserved. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckBattlefield America manages to pack every cliché imaginable into its overstuffed and overlong 106 minutes. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanHouston does his best with an unlikable character, and the young actors are appealing enough to keep us watching. The movie itself, however, is a mess. |

| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreWatching stage-parented poseurs play at being punks, mugging for the camera and talking sass to every adult, is not most people's idea of time well spent at the movies. |
