Critics Consensus

Akilla's Escape occasionally loses sight of its strongest assets, but solid acting and a smart story make this a neo-noir worth watching.

A hauntingly beautiful tale of redemption and fatherhood. Saul Williams is a movie star. Highly recommend. Take it in.

Pretty conventional on many levels and on most of its story beats. Has some good acting and ideas but it's stuck in usual gang story.
