Plagued by continuity problems, ham-fisted storytelling and a problematic voiceover by Da Brat, Civil Brand feels less like a prison movie than a prison sentence.
December 15, 2003
Wildly uneven, rife with a virtual checklist of human tragedies that build to easy emotional crescendos but fail to engage the audience well enough to evoke any meaning.

Women behind bars! While that's the perfect set-up for a late-night, soft-core cable movie, this flick is guilty of being nothing more than a jailhouse crock.
October 10, 2003
There's way too much of the usual bonding, beatings, petty humiliation by guards, cat fights in the yard and trips to the hole.

This is a film about the abuses of privatization and presents a negative view of what might happen if corporate America gets control of the business of corrections.

It presents a heated-up, awkward blend of earnest outrage and down-and-dirty exploitation.
Newark Star-Ledger

Barnette, a veteran TV director, means this as an exposé of prison abuse and exploitation, but the film is too simplistic and derivative to succeed.

Hollywood still doesn?t seem to understand that just because someone can sing doesn't mean they can act. If this film doesn't prove that point, nothing will.
Detroit News
October 10, 2003
Artistically, its heavy-handed clumsiness undercuts its goals.
October 16, 2003
It's impossible to ignore the strain of misogyny that taints the movie.
