Off the Hook Ratings & Reviews
BlackFilm.com
Wilson Morales
There are no special effects, and no Hollywood endings.
Chicago Reader
Bounce is much more successful than most other films that deal with daily life in the projects.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Despite the inexperience of the director and his cast, there's rarely a false moment.
Offoffoff
Joshua Tanzer
It uses some of the figures from the real-life story to portray themselves in the film. The result is a powerful, naturally dramatic piece of low-budget filmmaking.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
An ultra-low-budget indie debut that smacks more of good intentions than talent.
Variety
Lisa Nesselson
[Sports] admirable energy, full-bodied characterizations and narrative urgency.
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
Watstein handily directs and edits around his screenplay's sappier elements ... and sustains Off the Hook's buildup with remarkable assuredness for a first-timer.
New York Times
Lawrence Van Gelder
Earnest and heartfelt but undernourished and plodding.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Off the Hook is overlong and not well-acted, but credit writer-producer-director Adam Watstein with finishing it at all.
Film Threat
Donald J. Levit
An engrossing first feature from writer/director/ co-producer Adam Watstein.
