Total FilmJosh WinningAug 23, 2017
Dave Bautista’s street-level action flick is galaxies away from Marvel gloss, but the Guardians scene-stealer lends physicality to this gutsy, Carpenter-esque B-movie. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliAug 24, 2017
Unfortunately, because of a variety of missteps, Bushwick never achieves what it sets out to do. It’s undone by a litany of bad decisions and the underlying weakness of the core material. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloAug 23, 2017
Bushwick imagines nothing less than the collapse of the United States Of America, with half the country in armed revolt. At a time when that possibility can feel all too frighteningly real, it’s dispiriting to see it employed as little more than an excuse to engineer a live-action Grand Theft Auto. Read full review

If it never fully realizes the horrors of its prescient setup, it’s nevertheless effective in fits and starts. Read full review

Stars Dave Bautista and Brittany Snow aren’t compelling enough, and the film’s formal gimmicks aren’t clever enough. Read full review

CineVueJohn BleasdaleAug 24, 2017
There are the occasional moments when Bushwick lets on that it knows that this is all truly awful. Read full review

We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoAug 24, 2017
Murnion and Milott’s Bushwick feels like a John Carpenter film without the societal skewering. A nasty, hate-filled movie with shaky detailing. Read full review
