Life isn't fair for anybody in first-time writer & director Will Forbes' 'John Henry,' a simple but savage thug-life thriller with brawny Terry Crews tangling with Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges. Reviewed by zardoz-13 8 / 10 Quite a Fracas for First-Time Director Forbes!!! This could have been a great update to the blaxploitation movies of the 1970s, but it's pretty much a misfire. Terry Crews can't do much with his role, possibly because of a screenplay that doesn't explore his character much, as well as making a number of other characters and plot details murky. The overall amateurish feel of this movie no doubt comes from the limited budget while the movie never becomes incredibly cheap and tacky, it's obvious that the filmmakers were working with some severe limitations. And when the action does come, it isn't particularly well done, mainly due to the fact that it's pretty poorly directed and edited at times. If you think that there would be non-stop brutal action, think again - after the opening action sequence, there isn't another action sequence for about an hour. However, I think just about anyone who sits down to watch this movie will be very disappointed.

I think it's understandable why many people might think 'John Henry' might deliver the goods - there is its title, the setting being gang territory in Los Angeles, and the fact that Terry Crews is the central protagonist.
