Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
It's tough to imagine how someone could make a movie about Jamaican gangsterism that's so devoid of political content, but that's hardly Silvestra's biggest problem.

rotten:
Shottas has everything a bad music video should have -- close-ups of foreign sports cars, women with painful-looking implants stepping in and out of hot tubs, ugly men with gold teeth waving around automatics.
– Stephen Whitty,

rotten:
Stars from reggae and other musical worlds give acting a try in Shottas, a witless, misogynistic, gratuitously violent, drug-culture-worshiping film.
– Neil Genzlinger,

rotten:
Writer-director Cess Silvera delivers an empty, bullet-riddled exploitation combo of attitude and poses.
