New York PostKyle Smith
You may call the film blingsploitation but its fun-loving hoodlums know who's fooling whom. Read full review

VarietyRonnie Scheib
Slicker, funnier and more professional than its predecessor, State Property 2, with Damon Dash at its helm tones down the original. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
Dash directs with a certain visual flare and a sense of humor, but as the film lumbers toward its climax, keeping track of the innumerable allegiances and double-crosses becomes an exercise in futility. Read full review

The New York TimesDana Stevens
It is not saying much to point out that the sequel is better than its predecessor (directed by Abdul Malik Abbott), which was crude and amateurish in every way. Read full review

Given that its predecessor hit bottom in the glorification of thug thrills, State Property 2 had nowhere to go but up. Yet, it doesn't. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerDavid Hiltbrand
The left hand doesn't know who the right hand is shooting in State Property 2, Damon Dash's prodigiously muddled thug-life sequel. Read full review
