Leave your thoughts about Life Is Hot in Cracktown.
| BET.comClay CaneThere are no positive characters in Cracktown. No voice of reason; just the reality of dire circumstances, which cannot be tied up in a pretty Hollywood bow. |
| Los Angeles TimesGlenn WhippWhile Giovinazzo's crude approach undercuts his occasional stab at gravitas, "Cracktown's" cast keeps things in the ballpark of relatable humanity. Best of the lot is Kerry Washington. |
| Boxoffice MagazineTim CogshellOne part Crash and one part Menace II Society. |
| BlackFilm.comWilson MoralesAside from tremendous performances given by Washington and Rasuk, the bleakness in 'Cracktown' doesn't offer a solution that leaves a positive outlook on life. |
| VarietyJustin ChangNowhere near as much fun as its title, playing out like an unusually obtuse episode of "The Wire." |
| L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasLife goes far past the boiling point for most of the characters in this hilariously overwrought ghetto soap opera from cult writer-director Buddy Giovinazzo. |
| Metromix.comGeoff BerkshireAbout as credible as a middle school production of Death of a Salesman. The unspectacular storylines plod along, dragged down by lackluster performances and sloppy direction. |
| The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttFor those wearied by cliches about poverty, rote characterizations of minorities and shocks for their own sake, best to avoid "Cracktown." |
| User ReviewPhilip NThe best sleeper film of 2009. I did not hear anything about this and luckily stumbled upon it. The opening scene gets you hooked. Plus, you get to see Shannon Syossaman (don't know how to spell her name) topless and she looks phenomenal. This movie brings such realism to the screen. Incredible. |
