Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The film's use of once-imposing, now-crumbling New York architecture is particularly effective in underscoring the story with an air of widespread urban decay.
Fresh: Filmmakers pull off a provocative, pulsating update on gangster pics with this action-laden epic about the rise and fall of an inner city crack dealer.
Fresh: Van Peebles wanted to tell this story; his heart is in it, and it's got a killer beat.
Rotten: It's still entertaining, but New Jack City now feels about as edgy as an old razor. And it's just as disposable.
Customer Reviews
10$ seriously!?
Are you kidding me...ten dollars for a 1991 movie? I would pay 2 or 3, never ten! You have got to be kidding me! The five star rating is because I love the movie, if I rated the price then itunes would owe me five stars!
This is what you call, CLASSIC GANGSTA!!!
"New Jack City" was to the 90's, what "Scarface" was to the 70's. GET THIS MOVIE!!!
Corny
This movie is out-dated and corny. If you have heard of the title and were curious, then you did what I did, but man, this movie just isn't that good! Leave a comment after you watch it, and let me know if I'm wrong.
