- 50VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyUnremarkable but competent in stylistic terms, with good use of Philadelphia locations, sharp casting and the requisite marketable hip-hop soundtrack adding up to a fun genre package.
- 38New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanOddly enough, given his limited role, the movie seems to have been made around Nelly; when he's not onscreen, everything falls apart.

- 30The New York TimesDana StevensThe New York TimesDana StevensMr. Jones, who recently starred in "Zig-Zag," a similarly striving, overwrought picture, is a disciplined and likable performer, and he bravely perseveres in the face of narrative absurdity and rampant overacting.
- 25New York PostMegan LehmannNew York PostMegan LehmannEnough to give you brain strain -- and the pay-off is negligible.
