Critic Reviews of "New Jack City"
Chicago ReaderOctober 30, 2007Though this often plays like a 70s cop show, it became a prototype for the bling-heavy gangsta melodramas of the 90s.
VarietyOctober 30, 2007Filmmakers pull off a provocative, pulsating update on gangster pics with this action-laden epic about the rise and fall of an inner city crack dealer.
Time OutJanuary 26, 2006It's a superior example of what used to be called blaxploitation, with Van Peebles piling on corruption and carnage for all he's worth.
Chicago Sun-TimesAugust 05, 2005The movie was advertised (no doubt wisely) as a slam-bang action adventure, but in fact it's a serious, smart film with an impact that lingers after the lights go up.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003The film's use of once-imposing, now-crumbling New York architecture is particularly effective in underscoring the story with an air of widespread urban decay.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Mario Van Peebles's drugland feature, a relentless, hold-on-to-your-hat experience, rarely lets up.
Video-Reviewmaster.comFebruary 23, 2008OK Van Peebles flick featuring Snipes.
TV GuideOctober 30, 2007We all know New Jack City is making the right statement on drugs, racism, the system, etc. But the fact is it's not very good.
EmanuelLevy.ComSeptember 16, 2006A cynical director, Van Peebles has style to burn, but his work is too flashy to make sense. This is a gangster-thriller about crack trade in Hralem done as a moralistic melodrama with kinky violence.
Movie MetropolisAugust 17, 2005...a purely conventional story, but it unfolds in unique and innovative ways, with particularly good turns from its cast, all of which make it a worthwhile watch.
DVDTalk.comAugust 05, 2005It's basically Scarface with a hip-hop mentality, but it's also a slickly entertaining and consistently engaging crime thriller.
