Reviews
Ryan Cracknell wrote in the Apollo Movie Guide that it was a " sad sign " that films like this were being made. The film is not only lacking in entertainment value, it neither proves nor has anything meaningful to say about the world. The film is a big step backwards for the genre of films showing urban gangs. The script contains numerous clichés and stereotypes. At the end of the text, the critic mocked the clothing worn in the film and asked Master P to try something other than filmmaking.
The magazine TV direkt 15/2007 wrote that the people shown in the film would leave the audience “ pretty cold ”.
