Village Voice
The film hints at progressive themes...soon disregard both in the service of a hokey gangsta plot. Full Review
John Anderson
Variety
Underacted, overheated and uses a pair of purloined, high-end sneakers as a 400-pound allegory for getting your priorities straight. Full Review

New York Post
Cisneros is an appealing actor, but he and Falling Awake get buried under a welter of clichs. Full Review

Time Out New York
Playing smarter and smoother than the plot, Cisneros uncorks an antimacho performance that deviates from type. His unconventional hero is worthy of a more original treatment. Full Review
