1992 has similar elements of other heists films, but Tyrese Gibson career best performance elevates the film to another level.

If you're going to take a historical event and make that the backdrop of the film, you better paint something worthy of the canvas... [But it's] just a run-of-the-mill heist movie.

Better than I expected it to be, and some of the performances are quite good.

Joe Friar Fort Worth Report

This is a very good heist film with solid performances. Tyrese Gibson incorporates shades of his character Jody from Baby Boy, and Ray Liotta gives a classic final performance as the baddie.

Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment

By the midway point, having done nothing to really enlighten audiences about what this moment in 1992 represents beyond seeing outrage in the streets, we are instead transported over to the heist plot for the sake of seeing how that shakes out.

Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion

There’s an identity crisis at the heart of Ariel Vromen’s “1992.” One part of the film deals with serious issues of racism and family dysfunction. The other is an almost comically overheated robbery melodrama. The combination makes for a clumsy brew.

“1992” has something to explore when it comes to the L.A. Riots and family bonds, but Vromen and Penn refuse the challenge to expand on the few engaging ideas they have.

Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media

Viewers will likely be too invested in the action to think too deeply about a few plot holes, and since catalytic converters are commonly stolen for their precious metals, it makes sense that the factory's stash of platinum would be a tempting treasure.

Christian Valentin Spectrum Culture

Despite a solid cast including the late Ray Liotta, 1992 achieves neither of its genres’ thrills particularly well nor can it mesh them together effectively.

Jeff Ewing Collider

1992 is a good crime thriller worth watching, but, like the heist it follows,it falls frustratingly short of greatness due to hiccups in the execution.

Lupe Rodriguez Haas CineMovie.tv

The 1992 riots is a great setting for a heist story with more character-driven interest than the action. The movie is suspenseful and a good thriller worth your time.

Katie Walsh Tribune News Service

Vromen and Penn would have been better off writing a straightforward father-son heist flick without trying (and failing) to pull off this high-concept maneuver.

Tyrese Gibson sheds the franchise persona and gives one of his best performances that unfortunately gets lost in a genre film that tries to do for the Rodney King riots what Three Kings did for the Gulf War

M.N. Miller Geek Vibes Nation

1992 is a solid genre film that elevates its story because of historical context, modern themes, and Tyrese's best performance since Baby Boy.

Preston Barta Fresh Fiction

Ariel Vromen weaves together two distinct yet interconnected stories centered around the theme of fathers and sons. With a captivating historical backdrop and rich storytelling, '1992' emerges as a crime film that leaves a lasting impression.

Better at evoking time and place than telling a provocative story, this crime drama squanders its true-life backdrop with formulaic plotting.
