Critic Reviews

Brian Holcomb, Kinetofilm
This wasn't the standard "pimp and ho show" but rather a smart, character based crime flick about two hustlers just trying to survive in the City of Brotherly Love.

Sean Axmaker, St@tic Multimedia
This confidence drama set on the streets of Philadelphia is charged with issues of race, racism, family, and trust in ways that no other blaxploitation film touches on.
