While Giovinazzo's crude approach undercuts his occasional stab at gravitas, Cracktown's cast keeps things in the ballpark of relatable humanity.

Rating: B+ --
There are no positive characters in Cracktown. No voice of reason; just the reality of dire circumstances, which cannot be tied up in a pretty Hollywood bow.

Rating: 2/4 --
Aside from tremendous performances given by Washington and Rasuk, the bleakness in 'Cracktown' doesn't offer a solution that leaves a positive outlook on life.

Rating: 1.5/5 --
About as credible as a middle school production of Death of a Salesman. The unspectacular storylines plod along, dragged down by lackluster performances and sloppy direction.

Life goes far past the boiling point for most of the characters in this hilariously overwrought ghetto soap opera from cult writer-director Buddy Giovinazzo.

Product Description:
The big city is far from glamorous in this edgy ensemble drama featuring Kerry Washington, Victor Rasuk, Brandon Routh, Illeana Douglas, and Lara Flynn Boyle. In LIFE IS HOT IN CRACKTOWN, people will do anything to escape the poverty around them, even if it means prostitution, hustling, or dealing drugs. The film’s crowded marquee also features Evan Ross, Shannyn Sossamon, Vondie Curtis-Hall, RZA, and Thomas Ian Nicholas.
