Reviews for State Property 2
1 - 15 (sorted by rotten rating; UK critics are listed first)
This brutal chronicle of heavily armed drug dealers is best appreciated (or disdained) as a raw, bracing expression of the spirit of capitalism.

Top CriticDash can't decide whether he's making New Jack City or Friday.
04/14/05
State Property 2’s daisy wheel of violence represents a reckless glorification of thug life.
04/09/05
Those interested in annoying things like plot or plausibility are best off steering clear of this inane celebration of all things thug.
04/13/05
At least Dash corralled every artist he knew into playing cameo roles, so bored or confused fans can bide their time star-spotting the likes of Mariah Carey, Kanye West and Angie Martinez.
04/13/05
The plot is strictly subservient to repetitive shootouts, the dialogue consisting of enough "f" and "n" words to be considered by Guinness.
04/12/05
Attempts at real ruggish posturing -- like that de rigueur sideways-gatted, full-body-exposure firing stance -- are just plain laughable.
04/12/05
Less a sequel to a film than a brand extension.
04/15/05
You mean there was a State Property 1?
04/14/05
Top CriticNo more three-dimensional than your average brand-name-laden hip-hop video.
04/13/05
Seeing two truly rich characters battling for supremacy can have the power of a symphony. Seeing two posses of dull thugs blasting away at each other has all the appeal of a CD single with a skip.
04/14/05
Dash's film is less the stuff cults are made of than fantasies.
04/14/05
You may call the film blingsploitation but its fun-loving hoodlums know who's fooling whom.
04/13/05
Slicker, funnier and more professional than its predecessor.
