3/4

Even if it fails to satisfy in its final act, it’s still a grabber and is stuffed with strong performances and, of course, lit music.

Gritty, confident and rooted in its surroundings, it brings fresh urgency to familiar crime-drama territory.

Splash City is raw, imperfect, and authentic in ways that matter. Reed Shannon proves he is not afraid to step in as the number one on the call sheet.

3/5

If SMASH CITY starts with a series of hoary tropes that echo dully the arc of many a film of this genre that have come before, by the end it has pulled itself together enough to deliver a climax with genuine uncertainty fueling that action.

The cinematography and editing are great, even though the cast mostly yaps. Though i wish there were less time skips between scenes. The slow motion montage was a minute or two too long. Personally i wish i could comprehend the hood language since the story was a bit hard to follow in the third act. Also what happened to the girlfriend after the event? Also where does Julian live after their family troubles? I wish there were more backstories to each character. Not surprising that the basketball dude was the most removed character from the hood life. The strip club showing up more than once especially the wide shots felt like a GTA place. The very long one shot towards the end was unnecessary and only used to justify renting out the club with the camera following darrell. Also phones were used like 4-5 times throughout the movie.
