It would be easier to forgive some of the film's excesses, however, if it were actually funny.

Relies much too heavily on multiple repetitions of gags that aren't especially funny the first time around.

3 Strikes is depressing and grim, but not in any useful or interesting way.

3 Strikes is unlikely to break new ground as yet another attempt by rap musicians and producers to reach white Multiplex audiences with a low-budget comedy.

Unoriginal and insulting, 3 Strikes goes down without scoring a single chuckle.
