The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C+
"... goes from one implausible situation and hail of bullets to the next outlandish moment and more gunfire. There are also moments of extreme, flat dullness — those generally being the moments when Def isn't talking."

Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"There's not much here that we haven't seen before, but it adds up to an enjoyable ride through Bowery alleys and Chinatown rooftops."
