"The Breakfast Club" in the Ghetto
January 01, 2000
A laughably disconnected hostage drama.
January 01, 2000
It begins as a high school comedy romp and then abruptly turns into a TV cop show-caliber thriller.

Snuff it out!
January 01, 2000
Too often writer/directors such as Light It Up's Craig Bolotin don't take the time to create a plausible plot and realistic dialog.
January 01, 2000
Bolotin repeatedly reminds the viewer of his lack of imagination.
February 18, 2005
...isn't so much a bad movie as an unfinished movie
January 01, 2000
The dialogue is ridiculous and condescending.
January 01, 2000
Nelson, Whitaker and their talented, young co-stars give this film most of whatever juice it has.
January 01, 2000
Crackling dialogue, surprising intelligence and an emotional wallop.
January 01, 2000
Writer-director Craig Bolotin wants to get our motors racing, our minds pondering and our hearts pumping. Laudable goals; shaky results.
January 01, 2000
Painfully obvious and cliched.
