Critics Consensus: Reviewers say Turn It Up has a derivative feel, running through too many urban movie cliches.

Reviews

Akron Beacon Journal

Chuck Klosterman

This is one of those pictures that is at its best when illustrating a certain kind of life in a certain kind of place at a certain point in U.S. history. In 40 years, it might make a valuable period piece.

Variety

Robert Koehler

Turn It Up is a hip-hop downer that makes the high-risk high-life of contempo gangstas seem glumly routine.

Christy Lemire

Surprisingly, for a movie about music, the sound is lousy. Some of the songs sound distorted because they have so much bass. In other moments, the dialogue is so low, it's hard to understand what the characters are saying.

One Guy's Opinion

Frank Swietek

In the final analysis it's more exploitative than uplifting.
