When Lucy steps off the subway, she walks into an utter bloodbath on the streets of Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood. Texas is attempting to secede from the Union, and militia forces have descended upon New York City to claim it as an East Coast base of operations and negotiation tool. Lucy takes shelter in Stupe's basement, a burly war veteran who reluctantly agrees to help her traverse the treacherous five-block stretch to reach her destination.
Bushwick

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Bushwick's sociopolitical subtext gives it more heft than the average action thriller, but those ideas are given short shrift in what amounts to a disappointing shoot-'em-up.

Anthony Lane The New Yorker Sep 4, 2017
The effects are scarcely special, and Bushwick locals will have many bones to pick, but somehow the movie gets to you, with its doomy political soothsaying. Go to Full Review
Simon Crook Empire Magazine Aug 31, 2017
4/5
Delivering knockout action and political punch, this blazing siren of a B movie imagines America at civil war with vicious force. Sequel, please. Go to Full Review
Simran Hans Observer (UK) Aug 27, 2017
2/5
The film works as a hollow tale of "resistance", with less of a stake in the politics of collective action than in the visceral business of individual survival. Go to Full Review

Provides relentless thrills on a scale beyond its small budget. That's impressive, even if the finished product isn't. Go to Full Review
Howard Gorman NME (New Musical Express) Jun 11, 2021
Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion use an immersive fly on the wall direction style to really heighten the audience's sensation of the anxiety, tension and ferocity of the home front war zone they created. Go to Full Review
Alex Flood NME (New Musical Express) May 18, 2021
Bautista is excellent and Lyle Vincent's clever camerawork means the battle scenes feel ultra-immersive. Go to Full Review

Albus S Feb 22, 2019 Ugliness of war beautifully portrayed.
Han S Oct 8, 2018 A horrible movie! 90 minutes of my life that I will never get back!!
Harry R Sep 3, 2018 I am SO ANGRY with whoever created this flick! Decent acting, a decent premise, decently filmed; I would've been satisfied with it overall until that ridiculous, pointless, "why did you even bother making a movie?" final 20 minutes! See more
Aug 30, 2018 Unusual, great cinematography, gripping
Aug 23, 2018 Greatest movie of all time? No. But a pleasant surprise.
Poe M Jul 31, 2018 for the vision of a fragmented Amerika, this movie is spot on...not great, but its experience action and scope elevates this cautionary tale above mere B movie status... See more
