Juan Encarnación was once the most feared man; a man of few words and great actions, most of them with machetes. Everything changed when he met the love of his life, Pura. She converted him into a quiet family man. His idyllic life is destroyed when, bewitched by her beauty, capricious Walker Jr. kidnaps Pura. Carrying his baby daughter on his back and with machete in hand, Encarnación will do whatever it takes to rescue her.

Hector A. Gonzalez Loud and Clear Reviews Ray Figueroa can’t outweigh the conventional story and baggy structure of his fresh and genre-crossing Erase Una Vez en El Caribe. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 16, 2023 Full Review Fico Cangiano CineXpress An epic achievement for Puerto Rican cinema. The wonderful mix inspired by the samurai and western genres, and Puerto Rican culture, is pure delight for fans of genre cinema. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Oct 14, 2023 Full Review Mario Alegre Próxima Tanda (Substack) Writer-director Ray Figueroa's genre mix of samurai/western tropes with Caribbean history provides a unique and refreshing blend in a setting we've never seen it done before.
