Rating: 1.5/5 --
The violence-laden story, such as it is, is ineptly stitched together; it's unclear who is shooting at whom and why; and the dialogue seldom advances beyond "Yo, dog" and "Whassup?" The soundtrack is the only draw here.

Rating: 2/6 --
Just as reggaetón is a fusion of hip-hop, reggae and traditional Puerto Rican rhythms, Talento de Barrio is also a mixture, albeit a woefully derivative one, of 8 Mile, Menace II Society and Carlito's Way.

This is a riches-to-riches story.

As blatant vehicles for rising rappers go, Talento de barrio won't do much to help Puerto Rican hip-hopper Daddy Yankee.
Variety
Rating: 2/5 --
It's not edgy or tight enough for all its grit and vitality to overcome the familiarity of its material to satisfy more demanding viewers.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Violence in cinema has become so prevalent that all of its shock value is lost (at least on this critic), but the underlying story here is pithy still.

Reggaeton star Daddy Yankee holds his own in his big-screen acting debut, Talento de Barrio. Too bad he's saddled with a generic script, based loosely on his own life.

New York Post
A vile, stupid, violent-crime drama that would be laughable if its content weren't so toxic.

Product Description:
This rags-to-riches reggaeton drama paints a gritty picture of life on the streets of Puerto Rico. Real-life star Daddy Yankee makes his feature film debut as Edgar, a man who finds success in the drug world, but he dreams of fame as a reggaeton rapper. In his search for satisfaction, Edgar encounters cops on the wrong side of the law, unfaithful associates, and a beautiful woman who has no idea of his real nature.
Description by Maya Entertainment:
Daddy Yankee, stars as Edgar Dinero, a misunderstood product of the slums of Puerto Rico who becomes torn between the street life of his childhood neighborhood and his ambition to become something more. Entangled within the strong ties of a violent barrio underworld, "Dinero" falls for a girl who brings positivity to his life. He then decides to conceal his connection to the hood from her. Soon, Edgar has the opportunity to make a run for it, but he fears he will never be able to hide from the scores of corrupt cops or shake the full-blown turf war that consumes his crew. "Dinero" is asked the ultimate question: Will he succumb to the violence of the barrio, or will he listen to the beat of his heart and fulfill his goal of becoming a star in his own right'
