With a mix of fifty DV and Hi-8 cameras distributed to shutter-bug fans and little more instruction than to keep the tapes rolling, director Nathaniel Hornblower and supervising editor Neal Usatin skillfully edit the resulting amateur footage into a kaleidoscopic, rough-edged take on the typically slick, professionally shot concert video. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Beastie Boys relive their former glories in an inspired live performance at Madison Square Garden on October 9, 2004 where 50 members of the sold-out audience use handheld cameras to capture the show.
Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
I had fun, even if I'm not a huge fan of the group...
Michael Ferraro, Film Threat
Awesome; I... Shot That! is exactly that; it's f...in' awesome!
David Noh, Film Journal International
It's frustrating to see their cavorting so annoyingly chopped up and in such grainy images.
Dan Lybarger, Kansas City Star
The shaky camerawork gets old quickly. So does the fan who filmed himself urinating.
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
My opinion of this unique and exciting concert flick may be influenced by the fact that I simply L-O-V-E the band, but really; who else was this movie made for except the old-school Beastie faithful?
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
frankly, the Boys' videos are far more entertaining.

A good concert movie, especially for Beastie Boys fans.
William G

Even as a passive fan, a relentless blast of a concert film.
Leo L

Simply brilliant!! Love watching this!
Nate H

A pretty great concert film, the unique gimmick keeps it interesting even when the on-stage action gets repetitive. The instrumental tracks and the little stories of the cameramen make for a fun experience.
Wu C
