Good and awesome! A friend of mine recommended it to me, and he said that it represents our Mexican culture and it does it well. It really does! All these other reviewers just hate it because they are gringos and don't understand our lovely culture🤣🤣🤣!

This is one of my favorites, I must have watched it 50 times. I like it better than American Me. There were quite a few movies of this type that came out during this era. I was in HS in the late 70's and grew up near the Barrio, they used to call it the Varrio.

It was very well rooted in reality, which is something we typically don't see in films like this. It was also rewarding to see things come full circle for our central characters.

Rated: 4/5

This is a very long movie but the performances elevated the material. Damian Chapa tried his best to lead this but there were some poor acting choices he made that threatened to derail the seriousness of the film.

Rated: 3/5

When mainstream Hollywood tackles Hispanic-themed movies, such as this one, the results are usually disastrous. Though aiming at creating an authentic Hispanic street epic, the otherwise reliable Hackford has directed a diffues and cliche picture.

Rated: 2/5
