John Anderson Newsday It's tough to imagine how someone could make a movie about Jamaican gangsterism that's so devoid of political content, but that's hardly Silvestra's biggest problem. Rated: 1/4 Nov 14, 2006 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Stars from reggae and other musical worlds give acting a try in Shottas, a witless, misogynistic, gratuitously violent, drug-culture-worshiping film. Rated: 1/5 Nov 10, 2006 Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Writer-director Cess Silvera delivers an empty, bullet-riddled exploitation combo of attitude and poses. Nov 8, 2006 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn This is not good. The acting was abysmal and even though I'm not well-verse in Jamaican culture but this was just not a good movie. Rated: 1/5 Jan 20, 2022 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn It is entertaining even though it's all over the place. It's so crazy but it's short so the pain is temporary. Rated: 2/5 Jan 20, 2022 Full Review Jason Gorber Film Scouts A straight-ahead Jamaican gansta flick, it's a lot of fun, if empty. Rated: B Jun 21, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Kevin B A cult classic movie. It's a movie that is gritty and authentic... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Tye S ‘It’s f***ed up what da critics said about this movie mon’ “Full of senseless violence”? Well, I’ve never heard of violence that makes sense. That’s the point. Yes, it’s blown out. Yes, the plot is kind of shot out. But it will always be a cult classic in my(and many other people’s)book. All these years later, and the characters still bump around in my head. What more can you want? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Hunter B Still great after so many years and RESPECT to MAD MAX Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Human K Engaging all the way through. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie. i'm not sure why some of the reviews said it's full of senseless violence. sure, a lot of people die, but with each scene less and less people are left. the happy ending doesn't indicate that it was good to kill all those people, and if you listen to the music it's constantly about wanting to get away from violence. i would not compare this to scarface the way that many reviews are, because in general it was way better written, produced, and acted. scarface legitimately glorifies this stuff, whereas shottas shows us from start to finish that if you start a fire, the fire will blaze up higher. exponentially increasing violence was the point of the film, culminating in the protagonist losing all his friends and family and just getting some money in return. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is deeply lacking substance! Too much shootings and killings without knowing why and what's the motive. The scenes are more like snippets and this make the entire movie very confusing. So much senseless killings without proper motives. Going on constant shooting rampages is not all that makes a movie interesting to watch, sorry 😐 a good movie needs to have a beginning, a plot, a theme, and a good ending this is not the case in this movie! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
