“Rob Peace” isn’t the story of an “Ivy League drug dealer”; it’s the story of a human being who deserved way better than what society gave him.

Slant Magazine

The things that elevate Chiwetel Ejiofor’s film are those that elevated Rob Peace’s life overall.

Rated: 3/4

Ejiofor opts for a syrupy lens, banal dialogue filled with platitudes, and cardboard characters.

Cinema Daily US

A compelling turn and a fitting tribute to the real Peace, who surely would be doing extraordinary things if he was still alive today.

Rated: B+
