Critic Reviews

40	TV Guide Formulaic but performed with some verve.
20	The Onion (A.V. Club) A singularly uncharismatic leading man, the paunchy, expressionless, frequently inarticulate Sigel makes an unintentionally comic impression as a character named, naturally, Beans.
20	New Times (L.A.) 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.
12	New York Post A low-end scam by Lions Gate Films -- whose recent "The Wash" was a masterpiece by comparison.
12	New York Daily News The cinematic equivalent of a gangsta rap song, State Property is little more than a marketing tool for Roc-A-Fella Records.
10	LA Weekly It almost appears like a little thought went into this otherwise grim exercise in soullessness.
10	Variety Ronnie Scheib Result is fairly good-looking video shot down by a hackneyed script, atrocious acting and a total lack of redeeming social value.
0	The New York Times At the end the picture seems to acknowledge its own ludicrousness, but by then it, like Beans, is beyond rescue.
