Straight from the Barrio Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
This is a riches-to-riches story.
Variety
Robert Koehler
As blatant vehicles for rising rappers go, Talento de barrio won't do much to help Puerto Rican hip-hopper Daddy Yankee.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
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.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
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.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
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.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
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.
L.A. Weekly
Tim Grierson
A vile, stupid, violent-crime drama that would be laughable if its content weren't so toxic.
