Movie Reviews

Film.com - 9/10 by Ernest HardyAs both writer and director, Adetuyi doesn't bother bringing any emotional or psychological twists or nuances to these familiar character types; he gives them no depth whatsoever.
Variety - 7/10 by Robert KoehlerPatently absurd in both the details and larger aspects, the ultraserious pic is undermined by poor casting.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 7/10 by Steve MurrayAs soon as an idea worth pursuing pops up, the plot shoots it down in a literal hail of bullets.
Kansas City Star - 5/10 by Robert W. ButlerNone of this is remotely compelling, and first-time writer/director Robert Adetuyi doesn't develop anything resembling a style.
SPLICEDWire - 5/10 by Rob BlackwelderThe film is little more than an unambitious, well-packaged passel of urban black clichés.
Reel.com - 4/10 by Marc FortierIt's hard to say if even devoted Fugees refugees will be able to stomach the mediocrity plaguing this loose autobiography of the Ghetto Superstar himself, ex-Fugee Prakazrel 'Pras' Michel.
Chicago Tribune - 4/10 by Vicky EdwardsThe film uses every standard urban drama story line in the book.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Kevin ThomasHits hard and pulls no punches in telling its brutal story.
New York Post - 4/10 by Lou LumenickFeatures less than 10 minutes of music in its mercifully brief 83-minute running time.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanNormally, I'd recommend a movie like this only to diehard fans. But even they may want to wait until it hits cable.
