    A singularly uncharismatic leading man, the paunchy, expressionless, frequently inarticulate Sigel makes an unintentionally comic impression as a character named, naturally, Beans.

    But there is a saving grace: Seemingly aware of how weak the material was, the filmmakers have filled it with wall-to-wall beautiful naked women in every other scene, complete with a little gratuitous lesbian action. It can't save the film, but it'll keep you from dozing off.

    The cinematic equivalent of a gangsta rap song, State Property is little more than a marketing tool for Roc-A-Fella Records.

    A low-end scam by Lions Gate Films -- whose recent "The Wash" was a masterpiece by comparison.

    It almost appears like a little thought went into this otherwise grim exercise in soullessness.

    Result is fairly good-looking video shot down by a hackneyed script, atrocious acting and a total lack of redeeming social value.

    At the end the picture seems to acknowledge its own ludicrousness, but by then it, like Beans, is beyond rescue.

    If there was ever created a worse movie please inform me so i could conclude to tell you that it was not worse than this, nothing is worse than this, this not only brings the standard of all movies so far down it makes the sequel of this movie seem like the godfather, but it also sets a cornerstone of all mankind as being a pathetic race of redundant protoplasm.… Full Review »

    Been Rich All My Life is something like the "Ballets Russes" of tap dancing. I'm delighted to report that the similarities include the fact that the Belles are transmitting their improvisatory "rhythm tap" style to generations of younger dancers. However, State Property is the worst film ever mad. It potrays blacks as slaves.… Full Review »

    This was laugh out loud terrible. If you like a terrible script with worse acting then you have found your movie. Success in the music industry does not translate into success in film. Thank you Siegel for making a movie that will truly stand the test of time.… Full Review »
