Rating: 1/4 --
Barnette, a veteran TV director, means this as an exposé of prison abuse and exploitation, but the film is too simplistic and derivative to succeed.
New York Post
...As entertaining as it is pertinent, the well-paced CIVIL BRAND is a potent calling card for the gifted, committed and versatile Neema Barnette...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 1.5/5 --
Hollywood still doesn?t seem to understand that just because someone can sing doesn't mean they can act. If this film doesn't prove that point, nothing will.
Filmcritic.com
It's guilty of gross B-movie meltdown, but mitigating circumstances include honest anger and a scattering of vivid scenes.
Newark Star-Ledger
Rating: 2/5 --
There's way too much of the usual bonding, beatings, petty humiliation by guards, cat fights in the yard and trips to the hole.

Artistically, its heavy-handed clumsiness undercuts its goals.
