Critic Reviews

Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune
A movie that feels like three hours of detention -- even though the film is only 97 minutes.
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
If the poster for New Port South had any truth to it, it would read "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing".
Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews
Cooper shows significant promise in his directorial debut. Let's hope he finds the funding to direct again but with better material next time.
Gil Jawetz, DVDTalk.com
Ultimately New Port South is one of those films that approaches an important and current issue (youth anger) but doesn't have anything coherent to say about it.
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
Goes nowhere.
