1/4

Although Riggs turns in a workmanlike performance, the rest of the cast is weak, with rare exceptions.

5.5/10

Dowdell shows promise as a director and if he can reach the next level on his scripts, he'll be an independent director worth keeping an eye on in the future.

4/4

Touching on a litany of timely themes, this modern morality play of Shakespearean proportions packs an emotional punch while sending a sobering message about what really matters most.

2.5/4

Changing the Game doesn't have the resources of a Hollywood movie, that's obvious. But it has one thing many Hollywood movies do not have -- an ending.

Technically inept and poorly written, this film tries hard to be a gritty urban drama but ends up as a preachy mish-mash of morality and inner city stock characters. Writer/Director Rel Dowdell makes Tyler Perry look like Federico Fellini.
