Reception[]

Los Angeles Times critic Michael Rechtshaffen stated: "A criminally inept throwback to '90s urban gangsta movie posturing that plays like a stone-faced version of the 1996 Wayans brothers spoof, Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood".[5] According to Glenn Kenny of The New York Times, the movie "sometimes manages to bring a scary whiff of the street into its sounds and images".[6]
