Reviews


70
The Hollywood Reporter - Michael Rechtshaffen
Quite an entertaining genre piece boasting a terrifically sinewy lead performance from Wanda De Jesus.
60
Variety - Joe Leydon
Too muted to have much lasting impact, and remains modestly diverting only on a scene-to-scene basis. There's no quotable dialogue, no standout action sequence, no flashy supporting performances -- in short, nothing to lift Illegal Tender from the level of competent but inconsequential B-movie.
58
Entertainment Weekly - Unnamed
For a second, the movie has the snap of a truly surprising thriller -- like a Hispanic "Kill Bill" -- about an aging lioness willing to kill to protect her cub.
50
Washington Post - Ann Hornaday
A throwback to 1970s blaxploitation flicks, with a Latin accent, Illegal Tender would be a brassy, sassy guilty pleasure if it were more, well, pleasurable.
50
TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh
This tale of crime and punishment is wrapped in a veneer of flashy attitude but founders on mundane details.
