Dennis Harvey Variety White’s bemused alpha authority carries the day. And this uneven, sometimes sloppy vehicle gets a real boost from Method Man. Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Nicholas Bell Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Despite his alluring screen presence, Michael Jai White's Trouble Man is too rough around the edges to succeed as a contemporary homage to the kung fu flavored blaxploitation classics its clearly evoking. Rated: 2/5 Aug 10, 2025 Full Review Julian Roman MovieWeb Michael Jai White punches, kicks, and monologues his way through Atlanta in Trouble Man. His likable persona and laudable effort at teaching moments unfortunately aren't enough to carry this strained kidnapping mystery. Rated: 2/5 Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Joseph Robinson Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) Michael Jai White has the chops, but Trouble Man trips over its own cheap look, ridiculous story, and lack of humor. Rated: 2/5 Aug 2, 2025 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A mildly entertaining action comedy with sporadic thrills, but it's often bland and ultimately forgettable. Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment Serving as modern blaxploitation, I can’t say the film is doing anything as revolutionary as those urban classics. Still, it does well enough at keeping up a sort of tradition. Rated: 6/10 Jul 31, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Ms. Watch T Really fun movie! Brings back memories of Slaughter, Truck Turner, Foxy Brown, and Cleopatra Jones -- GIVE ME MORE 📽️ LIKE THIS 💯‼️ Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Audience Member mortal kombat movie,decent enough, but prob not my style Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Chris L I was disappointed. Had a decent enough cast to be good, but just really missed the mark. Fighting scenes were not the greatest and gave kind of blaxploitation vibes overall. Always fun to see Method Man in a project though. You know he’ll have a fun comedic line or too. But at the end of the day, even that wasn’t enough to save the movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Allen R ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF 2025!!!!! Super LIT!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Audience Member Good movie Michael j white, method man, mike epps and more great cast,trouble man not so bad love it keep doing your things brother movie was great Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Slick R Method Man absolutely makes this B movie. He's hilarious! Michael Jai White was good too. They gotta make more movies like this. They definitely could have done without the post credits scene though... Not sure why they did that other than to insinuate there would be a sequel Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
