There's one code at play here: a hood's gotta do what a hood's gotta do. Unfortunately, we gotta watch him do all of it.

An easy film to fall for -- it's slick, proficient and has just enough depth to lift it above your average, humdrum crime drama.

Rated: 3/5

While it definitely falls into the same tired cliches. It’s a slick and well made gangster movie that has some tight action sequences

A Trama tem uma premissa muito boa, baseado em fatos reais, que o super amo, entretanto comecei bens motivada, e a motivação não veio durante o filme, embora houvesse várias cenas interessantes e algumas poucas e repugnantes de tortura, uma linda história de amor bandido, sociedade, amizade, cumplicidade e traição, ótimos elementos para um bom suspense, que não me cativou tanto quanto supunha… Um bom filme sobre a vida de crimes e redenção de Edmond "Momom" Vidal...
