Leave your thoughts about State Property.
| New York TimesA.O. ScottLacks the visual flair and bouncing bravado that characterizes better hip-hop clips and is content to recycle images and characters that were already tired 10 years ago. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsA singularly uncharismatic leading man, the paunchy, expressionless, frequently inarticulate Sigel makes an unintentionally comic impression as a character named, naturally, Beans. |
| San Francisco ExaminerJoe LeydonThe acting is amateurish, the cinematography is atrocious, the direction is clumsy, the writing is insipid and the violence is at once luridly graphic and laughably unconvincing. |
| L.A. WeeklyPaul MalcolmIt almost appears like a little thought went into this otherwise grim exercise in soullessness. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibResult is fairly good-looking video shot down by a hackneyed script, atrocious acting and a total lack of redeeming social value. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe cinematic equivalent of a gangsta rap song, State Property is little more than a marketing tool for Roc-A-Fella Records. |
| New York PostLou LumenickA low-end scam by Lions Gate Films -- whose recent "The Wash" was a masterpiece by comparison. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonBut there is a saving grace: Seemingly aware of how weak the material was, the filmmakers have filled it with wall-to-wall beautiful naked women in every other scene, complete with a little gratuitous lesbian action. It can't save the film, but it'll keep you from dozing off. |
| The New York TimesDana StevensAt the end the picture seems to acknowledge its own ludicrousness, but by then it, like Beans, is beyond rescue. |
