Residents of Brooklyn, N.Y., deal with a citywide blackout for two days in the summer of 2003.

Kam Williams

EURWeb

A well-crafted, slice-of-life saga which amply illustrates how easily matters might go from bad to worse in the already-overburdened inner-city when disaster strikes in the 'hood.

Rated: 3/4

Manhattan Movie Magazine

there are some terribly cliched threads, including C.J.'s as the doomed upwardly mobile kid from the block, and James as the tormented witness of 9/11

Rated: 2/5

IGN Movies

Hopes to attach some larger social significance to the event, but that unfortunately falls largely flat and suffers from a derivative and sometimes vapid script.

Rated: 1.5/5

This movie was bad. I expected it show much more action or drama. What happens? Not much. This is a movie for when you are trying to become bored.
