Provides relentless thrills on a scale beyond its small budget. That's impressive, even if the finished product isn't.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 10, 2021

Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion use an immersive fly on the wall direction style to really heighten the audience's sensation of the anxiety, tension and ferocity of the home front war zone they created.

Bautista is excellent and Lyle Vincent's clever camerawork means the battle scenes feel ultra-immersive.

| May 18, 2021

The film's antiwar sentiment is a hollow platitude given the amount of ammunition used to tell the story.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 28, 2021

Thankfully, there's enough moment-to-moment action engagement to make Bushwick an enjoyable ride, even as it intellectually falters.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 25, 2020

The way the film moves through its sequences, the way it's edited, and how it's directed create, with the performance, a sort of lulling sense of dread and stress ...

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 17, 2020

Bushwick isn't going to go down as one of the films of the year, but is a solid, well-made indie actioner with two great central performances and a different approach to your standard thriller fare. Well worth a watch.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 10, 2019

The POV filming strategy is a wise one, and the whole effect of Bushwick is like a crisper, more thrilling video game.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 16, 2019

Watching Bushwick is an immersive sensory experience. It's like being trapped inside a video game you never wanted to play, yet it fails to engage on an emotional level.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 28, 2019

Bushwick is an energetic, unflinching look at war on the homefront with some great cinematography and an unforgettable climax.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Dec 26, 2018

There's just the right amount of action and humor peppered throughout, making Bushwick a worthy companion to similar films like Attack the Block and Cloverfield.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 20, 2018

It's first and foremost, and almost solely, an action movie...in which, despite some personal back-story revelations en route, the characters don't really have a back story or manage to engage enough with us emotionally.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2018

The most positive thing I can say about this movie is that it doesn't end the way you think it will. This movie is so bad.

| Aug 28, 2018

There are the occasional moments when Bushwick lets on that it knows that this is all truly awful.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 27, 2017

By taking it seriously, the filmmakers end up calling more attention to every absurd moment. Movie wise, there's few things worse than a dumb action movie tries to be serious.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 23, 2017

Snow and Bautista do their best, but they're being asked to play paper-thin people, and any character development invariably gets lost every time the filmmakers decide to embark upon another unbroken take or fancy camera maneuver.

...what we see on screen could easily have been from an embedded documentary...

| Nov 11, 2017

There's fierce tension in this breathless urban survival thriller as anarchy comes to New York streets. Terrific, innovative low-budget action filmmaking.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2017

This is a gruesome and unapologetic film that knows its identity and rides it from start to finish.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 24, 2017

...in its best moments combines the role-reversal/neighborhood pride of Attack the Block with the "we are the enemy" mentality of The Purge.
