Critic Reviews
-
Guy Lodge, Variety
The worlds of international boxing and gang-ruled Jamaican politics are twinned to initially eye-opening but ultimately welterweight effect.
-
Philip French, Observer [UK]
The view this low-budget movie gives us of a violent Kingston, Jamaica, left by politicians and the police to be run by local gangsters, rings true.
-
Joel Cunningham, Empire Magazine
Tangled plot lines and murkily choreographed fight scenes drain this fight flick of juice.
-
Henry Barnes, Guardian [UK]
Brownes's broad swipes at a political solution through pathos means this one swings wide.
