Critic Reviews

Robert Koehler, Variety
Turn It Up is a hip-hop downer that makes the high-risk high-life of contempo gangstas seem glumly routine.

Christy Lemire, Associated Press
Surprisingly, for a movie about music, the sound is lousy. Some of the songs sound distorted because they have so much bass. In other moments, the dialogue is so low, it's hard to understand what the characters are saying.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
It has action and violence, to be sure, but it may prove considerably more serious and uncompromising than its audience expected.
-
Ernest Hardy, Film.com
As both writer and director, Adetuyi doesn't bother bringing any emotional or psychological twists or nuances to these familiar character types; he gives them no depth whatsoever.
-
Vicky Edwards, Chicago Tribune
The film uses every standard urban drama story line in the book.
