So far, so hackneyed.

Top CriticWayans the screenwriter is largely to blame for the film's shortcomings, but Wayans the director does a solid job.
07/28/09
In terms of action, Wayans the director relies too much on slow-motion in shooting action scenes -- a tiresome habit that undercuts the potential excitement of some sequences.

The comedy is hit-or-miss, while Wayans proves to be a huge fan of Hong Kong action flicks, ripping off a number of action sequences from them.

Mr. Wayans is an agreeable screen presence, but he makes a surprisingly bland action hero.

I'm not sure what type of movie this is supposed to be or who its audience is, but it's a low down dirty shame that Wayans' talent is wasted on this film.
01/01/00
Unfortunately, however, where I'm Gonna Git You Sucka was completely off the wall, A Low Down Dirty Shame is just off.
01/01/00
It's easy -- far too easy -- to use the title of Keenen Ivory Wayans' latest movie as a description. Unfortunately, it's also accurate.
01/01/00
Question of the day: why is there such an appeal to brainlessness?
01/01/00
Wayans isn't sure whether to send up Shaft and company or simply to remake the action thriller. The result is an embarrassing compromise.
01/01/00
Here is a movie about guns. Take away the guns, and the movie would be about nothing much.
