Reviews
Despite its gritty atmosphere and compelling performances, 'Jive Turkey' falls short of delivering a cohesive narrative that truly engages the audience. While some commend the film for its authentic portrayal of 1970s urban life and its candid depiction of societal issues, others criticize its inconsistent pacing and lack of character depth. Rotten Tomatoes rates it at 3.5/10, highlighting the film's missed potential and lack of emotional resonance. Meanwhile, IMDb's rating of 4.6/10 reflects the divisive nature of 'Jive Turkey,' with viewers either appreciating its raw authenticity or feeling disconnected from its characters. Metacritic's score of 40/100 underlines the film's mixed reception, with some finding value in its historic context while others dismiss it as a forgettable entry in the crime genre.
