Variety's critic added, "It's not entirely clear what to make of Ice Cube in a job like this. The rapper has two expressions: a resting scowl and nuclear overreaction, neither of which suggest the sort of individual the government would trust with the technology to eavesdrop on anyone he sees fit."
