Variety

The flamboyantly heavy, life’s-a-bitch-and-then-it-ends drama of 'Asphalt City' isn’t much fun to sit through, but I think that’s ultimately because the movie, for all its grungy surface authenticity, is a bit of a fake.

Chicago Sun-Times

Not for one second, not for one frame, does director Jean Stéphane’s bruising and bloody New York City drama thriller 'Asphalt City' drive even near the neighborhood of subtlety.
