Critic Reviews

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

    Although Riggs turns in a workmanlike performance, the rest of the cast is weak, with rare exceptions.

  • Kam Williams, AALBC.com

    Touching on a litany of timely themes, this modern morality play of Shakespearean proportions packs an emotional punch while sending a sobering message about what really matters most.

  • Gary Thompson, Philadelphia Daily News

    Changing the Game doesn't have the resources of a Hollywood movie, that's obvious. But it has one thing many Hollywood movies do not have -- an ending.

  • Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru

    Suspenseful, intriguing, wise and genuinely heartfelt.

  • Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

    Any forced note is counterbalanced by the greater amount of right ones.
