Leave your thoughts about Gunnin' for That #1 Spot.
| Washington PostMike MayoFor all the flash and dazzle, Gunnin' for That #1 Spot never comes close to the power and intimacy of 1994's "Hoop Dreams." The comparison may be unfair, but, given the subject matter, it's inevitable. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfSpot provides the basics with foot-tapping, head-bobbing flamboyance, providing the viewer with a serious helping of heart, soul, and scorching basketball action blended up into a taut, explosive documentary. |
| Film4Richard LuckAt the heart of everything there's Yauch, directing with remarkable authority for someone who's pretty new to the director's chair. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarIt's a fly-on-the-wall look at eight prodigiously talented kids hooking up to play ball in the big city, and as such, it's a great deal of fun. |
| New York PressArmond WhiteGunnin' is everything the fatuous, condescending Hoop Dreams was not. |
| Empire MagazineGlen FerrisAs a tribute to the game and its accessibility to all, Gunnin' is hard to beat. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibBeastie Boy Adam Yauch proves he can make a comprehensive, state-of-the-art docu of interest to basketball aficionados. |
| New York Magazine/VultureSara CardaceIt's as much a snapshot of the contemporary basketball scene as it is a love letter to the famed uptown court. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAs guileless and eager as the most avid fan, Gunnin’ is neither cautionary nor analytical, allowing its insights to occur organically and without fancy camera moves. |
| UGOKeith UhlichI daresay the results would inspire Eisenstein himself to proffer an affirming nod from the great beyond. |
