| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Next Day Air is well-intentioned but ill-thought, an amateur work by a first time filmmaking team trying to make the kind of film they like to watch, but ignorant of what makes those kinds of films work.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 20, 2011

[Director Benny Boom] keeps the proceedings competent in the face of a labyrinthine plot that begs for more so-called flair than it deserves.

| Dec 17, 2009

Updates the spirit of blaxploitation without feeling pressed to worship or satirize it.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 17, 2009

Nearly every scene is a play on the perception that the accumulation of wealth will bring social validation and self-worth.

Full Review | Nov 4, 2009

Based on modest expectations Next Day Air delivers just the entertainment package it promises -- namely, dumb laughs laced with violence -- and it kinda works.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2009

I admire Benny Boom's effort; he wanted to make a movie and did it. One can only hope his next venture in Hollywood will be more original and sharp.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 4, 2009

It delivers neither laughs nor chills and offers no visuals more interesting than the Exit signs on the theater doors.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 7, 2009

Next Day Air is sort of bracing, though it isn't very good: Its total lack of dramatic and comic bearings, to say nothing of a point, keeps you wondering about the next fatality, in a half-interested way.

Best to refuse this delivery

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 15, 2009

Consistently unremarkable from its dullsville title on down.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | May 14, 2009

Here's a project so ill-conceived that it finds room in its cast for the talented Mos Def but then bungles that gift by giving him the smallest role among the principal cast members.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 13, 2009

Filmgoers who think outside the artmovie box will discover that the artful and enjoyable Next Day Air offers an episode of 21st-century black American life that August Wilson never got to.

| May 13, 2009

Guy Ritchie never made anything this bad and boring on the worst Madonna-influenced, crypto-Kabbalistic day of his life.

| Original Score: .5/5 | May 13, 2009

There are no cops, not much farcical energy, and none of the satiric edge it would take to pull off the film's grim denouement.

| May 13, 2009

I've seen much funnier films from Mike Epps.

| May 11, 2009

An amusing tail of incompetent criminals.

Full Review | May 11, 2009

I barely detected moments that even seemed like they were supposed to be funny, let alone ones that actually were.

| Original Score: D- | May 10, 2009

I like Donald Faison, Mos Def and Mike Epps - but I really disliked this movie and them in it.

| Original Score: 3/10 | May 10, 2009

A screwball comedy/splatter flick which might best thought of as a campy cross of Cotton Comes to Harlem and No Country for Old Men.

| Original Score: 4/4 | May 9, 2009
