It would have been so easy to get this movie right. The vibrant culture, pulsating energy and talented dancers busting up the floor are all here. All Cannon had to do was let us enjoy them.

Rated: 1/5

Gratuitous sex, violence mar glimpse at dancehall culture.

Rated: 2/5

Lainey Gossip

... presented in such a sloppy fashion as to be rendered nearly incoherent, and the movie itself is so clearly Cannon's love letter to himself that it's impossible to take this seriously as an actual movie.
