Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
There is a shorter version of Cut Throat City - one that better blends conspiracy and violence - that would elevate RZA's film. In the end, the film, like the bank robbers it follows, leaves just a little too much money on the table.

Austin Chronicle
Moore’s Blink is the film’s pensive protagonist, bringing an unexpected degree of self-reflection to a role that easily could have been far more rote.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 4/5 --
A solid crime drama with real social bite to it, Cut Throat City boasts sharply drawn characters and a spectacular cast that make up for too many side plots and figures.

The Film Yap
3.5 stars out of 4 -- [A] sprawling urban drama with eruptions of violence. It provides the intrigue that fans want from the heist genre while anchoring its twists in details about life in New Orleans a year after Hurricane Katrina.
RogerEbert.com
The reversals the characters suffer across the movie’s running time are epic, and the movie’s finale unfolds to genuinely startling effect.
New York Times
Rating: 4/5 --
'Cut Throat City' has the feel of an epic journey bolstered by the lyrical dialogue and the gothic scenery of New Orleans 9th Ward post-Katrina.

Wesley Snipes, as Blink’s crusty fisherman father, who lives in a shack, gives the film’s one true New Orleans performance....CUT THROAT CITY has vivid moments...
