It never quite reaches its ambitious heights. It wants to be something, but it's kinda just a cheesy B-genre movie. Go to Full Review
Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 01/24/2020
"John Henry" is a lead-footed revenge thriller that lands with all the subtlety of the mighty steel-driving man's sledgehammer. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 01/23/2020
A thug-life thriller so frequently preposterous that it almost resembles a parody. Go to Full Review

I didn't make it all the way through it. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/13/2020
Before anyone thinks that the crime drama John Henry has anything to do with the story of the African American folk hero John Henry, the first 15 minutes of this laughably horrible film will make it clear that the name is just a gimmick. Go to Full Review

Terry M. @meyers96 Aug 9 Might be one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched. See more Google 06/15/2022 Not sure why low reviews. Takes a classic folktale and mixes it with the urban lifestyle of Compton. Love it See more m j @TennisRB 12/29/2021 They took a good book and made it suck, The movie should have never been release.... See more 11/12/2020 Quite possibly the worst movie of all time. Shame on all involved! See more 10/28/2020 Seeing Terry Crews in a serious role is awesome. Loved the movie. I would advise to watch it with an open mind...don't look for a John Wick feel....just watch it and give it time. You will enjoy it See more 10/26/2020 Was a great watch love Terry Crews in anything, the sound track was brilliant and I was gripped to the end. Only negative was I didn't understand who Oscar was and there was not much depth to some of the characters. We could of also done with subtitles for the Spanish segments. See more Read all reviews
