David Jenkins Time Out Apr 25, 2009
1/6
It's a terrible film, so blithely wrong-headed in its execution that some scenes are quite entertaining in an 'is this really happening?' kind of way. Go to Full Review
Peter Bradshaw Guardian Apr 25, 2009
1/5
There really is no film as terrible as a terrible Britfilm, and here is a depressing example that I can only compare to Madonna's legendarily abysmal Filth and Wisdom. Go to Full Review
Dominic Wells The Times (UK) Apr 25, 2009
2/5
City Rats is an old Trabant: depressing, prone to stall, its parts not properly welded together. Go to Full Review
Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) Apr 28, 2009
2/5

Philip French Observer (UK) Apr 28, 2009

Jon Fortgang Film4 Apr 25, 2009
2.5/5
A low budget drama by a writer and director both making their feature debut, it's an uneven but ambitious enterprise which, like its characters, never knows which way to turn, or how best to exploit its own strengths. Go to Full Review
