“Afro Ninja’ was a pretty darned entertaining little film with some nicely choreographed fight scenes”‐Christopher Armstead, Film Critics United
“Mark Hicks also succeeded in crafting the narrative for ‘Afro Ninja’ in that he doesn’t take the story too seriously but also avoids making it silly camp and striking a very effective balance between the two.”-‐Christopher Armstead, Film Critics United
