      Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com An amazing example of a stand-up master doing what he does best and arguably better than anyone working today. Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Jason Bailey DVDTalk.com Rock tackles a number of subjects here, both new and old, but he makes the greatest hay out of the then-upcoming presidential election. This is a bit of a mixed blessing... though most is funny enough that it doesn't matter. Rated: 4/5 Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Jane Simon Daily Mirror (UK) Undeniably funny. But you might find the way that Rock's outfit constantly changes mid-sentence as his act is tacked together from around the globe distracting -- not to mention unnecessary. Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Laura Burrows IGN Movies UK Whether or not you find this near robotic recitation a good thing or a bad thing for a comic is up to you, but his sheer focus on timing could put any musician to shame. Rated: 7/10 Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Simon Brew Den of Geek The edgier parts of the gig, and the moments that showcase just how refined Rock's delivery is, are where he talks about matters of race. Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
