This was a terrible take on a story that's been done 100 times… see Gran Torino. The romantic encounter between Van Damne and the girl didn't even make sense. The fact that an entire wedding in a house couldn't hear a massive shoot out going on in the front yard is ridiculous. The kid never even explains what happened, why didn't he just say the dick head started chasing him and the car blew up with the money in it… the whole story is so unbelievable any MS13, military vet or anyone for that matter will need new eyes from them rolling out of their head so hard.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Laughable. This is a very unrealistic depiction of MS-13 in D.C. They could have at least really filmed it here. 4 million dollar budget? Lol.

I live in DC… well right near it anyway. I'm closer to the capital than that kid was in the movie, and I can say right now I've never seen a neighborhood ran by MS13. Maybe in small, very small pockets of pg county, but it's so ridiculous to imagine giant gang neighborhoods like that In the backyard of the FBI. It would have been more realistic as a mob movie, and even that would be absurd. On top of all that the movie was just soooooo unnecessarily violent and fake. When have that many cops, let alone feds, been involved in a gang massacre that big in the US.

This movie is terrible. Do yourself a favor, don't watch it and call a family member and tell them how much you love them and to avoid this movie.

This movie could have been so much more. The premise was so good it was hard not to give it a chance. I have to say though there where times when van damme came into the movie and I was waiting for a one liner or an action scene where he takes out a few gang members and got nothing. The ending was like putting a bow on a hot mess. This one just left more to be desired

Van Damme may be famous enough that he can afford to continue noodling around with different roles and performance styles. But his fellow cast members deserve a lot better than We Die Young.

Movie Nation

A new nadir, even for the star of too many awful “Kickboxer” sequels to count. It’s a reckless, ridiculous and borderline racist thriller

Rated: 1.5/4

Brutal Van Damme film is heavy on violence, drugs, language.

Film Inquiry

It aims to add social context to an otherwise hackneyed gangster film. The attempt is sincere, but given its reliance on random snapshots of extravagant suffering, that objective also goes belly up.

"Young" provides Van Damme with a needed acting challenge, putting his natural screen presence to good use in a more socially-minded bruiser that's timed to tap into current national fears.

Rated: B
