 7/10 |
Updates the spirit of blaxploitation without feeling pressed to worship or satirize it. Full Review |

Nearly every scene is a play on the perception that the accumulation of wealth will bring social validation and self-worth. Full Review |

I admire Benny Boom's effort; he wanted to make a movie and did it. One can only hope his next venture in Hollywood will be more original and sharp. Full Review |

1/5 |
It delivers neither laughs nor chills and offers no visuals more interesting than the Exit signs on the theater doors. Full Review |

2/4 |
Next Day Air is sort of bracing, though it isn't very good: Its total lack of dramatic and comic bearings, to say nothing of a point, keeps you wondering about the next fatality, in a half-interested way. Full Review |

Best to refuse this delivery Full Review |

Consistently unremarkable from its dullsville title on down. Full Review |

Here's a project so ill-conceived that it finds room in its cast for the talented Mos Def but then bungles that gift by giving him the smallest role among the principal cast members. Full Review |

Filmgoers who think outside the artmovie box will discover that the artful and enjoyable Next Day Air offers an episode of 21st-century black American life that August Wilson never got to. Full Review |

.5/5 |
Guy Ritchie never made anything this bad and boring on the worst Madonna-influenced, crypto-Kabbalistic day of his life. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
Doesn't deliver anything to make you want to pick it up. No need to return to sender, just don't sign off on it. Full Review |

There are no cops, not much farcical energy, and none of the satiric edge it would take to pull off the film’s grim denouement. Full Review |

I’ve seen much funnier films from Mike Epps. Full Review |

An amusing tail of incompetent criminals. Full Review |

I barely detected moments that even seemed like they were supposed to be funny, let alone ones that actually were. Full Review |

|
3/10 |
I like Donald Faison, Mos Def and Mike Epps - but I really disliked this movie and them in it. Full Review |
||
|
4/4 |
A screwball comedy/splatter flick which might best thought of as a campy cross of Cotton Comes to Harlem and No Country for Old Men. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
Forty years from now, this may be fascinating for its relentless early 21st-century 'urban' slang and attitude. Let's hope it also seems antique for the idea that guns are as accessible as Kleenex... Full Review |

1.5/5 |
the movie is truly an imitation because it lacks the quality and finesse that this sort of genre usually has Full Review |
