John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Jan 17, 2014
True second-chance story doesn't come to life onscreen. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
A film with a message of inspiration, to be sure, but not much in terms of innovation. Go to Full Review
David Hiltbrand Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 17, 2014
2.5/4
For such a seriously street film, Jamesy Boy has some surprisingly sappy moments. But the redemptive ending, while thin, is genuinely gratifying. Go to Full Review
Dustin Putman TheFilmFile.com Feb 18, 2014
2.5/4
Tackled with a sense of thoughtfulness and compassion that makes the would-be garden-variety narrative worthwhile. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Jan 31, 2014
The protagonist seems more sociopathic than sympathetic, and the film takes such a distorted view of the responsibility of role models and artistic expression in shaping troubled youth. Go to Full Review
Mike D'Angelo The Dissolve Jan 24, 2014
2.5/5
It's ultimately little more than the story of a hot-tempered young man who made a lot of bad choices, didn't like where they got him, and finally started making some better ones. While that's admirable, it isn't inherently compelling. Go to Full Review

George M May 6, 2017 A surprisingly solid story with a good performance from Spencer Rocco Lofranco, who captures and holds every frame he's in. It needed a bit more filmmaking prowess, moody cinematography, and stirring music like Moonlight to elevate it, but it's a solid effort all around. See more
Draco M Mar 8, 2017 Bad, bad, bad. Lofranco is a horrible actor, and should just go back to working for Abercrombie and Fitch.
