Reception
Los Angeles Times critic Michael Rechtshaffen stated: "A criminally inept throwback to '90s urban gangsta movie posturing that plays like a stone-faced version of the 1996 Wayans brothers spoof, Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood".{{Cite web|last=Rechtshaffen|first=Michael|date=2018-02-15|title=Review: Crime drama 'Honor Up' revisits the '90s with uninspired results|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-mini-honor-up-review-20180215-story.html|access-date=2021-03-19|website=Los Angeles Times|language=}} According to Glenn Kenny of The New York Times, the movie "sometimes manages to bring a scary whiff of the street into its sounds and images".
