Snipes relies too much on a scorchingly plotted dramatic scenario for its own good.
A loud, low-budget and tired formula film that arrives cloaked in the euphemism 'urban drama.'
Undone by its overly complicated and derivative screenplay, the glacier-paced direction and the stereotypical characters.
Highly watchable stuff.
Snipes is both a snore and utter tripe.
Involving at times, but lapses quite casually into the absurd.
'...Mafia, rap stars and hood rats butt their ugly heads in a regurgitation of cinematic violence that gives brutal birth to an unlikely, but likable, hero.'
A little judicious editing would have helped a lot, but the talented cast matches the film's ambitions and compensates for its modest budget.
Trying to make head or tail of the story in the hip-hop indie Snipes is enough to give you brain strain -- and the pay-off is negligible.
As is often the case with ambitious, eager first-time filmmakers, Mr. Murray, a prolific director of music videos, stuffs his debut with more plot than it can comfortably hold.
A cockeyed shot all the way.
