programmerjj The movie while having a few actors that I've never heard of before, had a decent plot line and a halfway decent acting cast. Like any other gangster/drama/revenge movies, it is centered around the typical genera of any other movie. Money,payback and settling old scores.I was not expecting a whole lot from the movie, but I was rather impressed with the acting skills of the female actress and the commanding presence for a female actress in a lead role.Definitely a shocker, worth renting with a decent plot line and cast and crew. Starts off kind of slow, but it leaves you anticipating whats going to happen next.I won't go into detail, why spoil it, rent it and see what you think for yourself.
robbieturner-3 I watched the gun fight scene and wanted so badly to shoot myself. Unless this drug king pin hires the most retarded and inept hired guns in the world what kind of retards shoot randomly into a house. Even dumber than that is the main character's family, first the little brother crying "mommy, mommy" in the middle of a gun fight, someone should have knocked that kid out for his own good. The main character missing an open shot on two man sized targets at 20 ft, I thought you had to try to shoot that poorly. Then the mom, "Rawr" raging mother kills two career criminals in a fit of rage. I've never seen a less believable and horribly shot gun fight in my life.
Mary Smith-Sanchez (vivatexas) I liked the movie, it is pretty good most of the time. It is a nice surprise because you don't find many movies about the Puerto Rican gangs and the roles are done by Hispanic actors.Stereotypical sometimes, but you have nice acting, specially when Wilson Jr. has to shoot for the first time. He is trembling and scared what everybody should be after some bad experience.The mom does a good acting trying to be protective and hard at the same time.It is a good movie, a bit different from the rest of the movies you usually watch about the mafia.
datdudesketch I wanted to watch this film ever since I seen the trailer. I sometimes wait a while to catch the movies I want to see so I'll have some entertainment for the home screen and I gotta say that it was definitely worth the wait. Wanda De Jesus is just so damn sexy with a gun in each hand! Why anyone thought the acting was bad is completely beyond me. Wanda and the rest of the cast delivered really good dialog and realistic emotions as far as I am concerned. Rick Gonzalez has always been one of my favorite young actors, his character was so entertaining. Dania Ramirez... kudos! I wasn't happy with her past films, especially X-Men: The Last Stand, yet she does the damsel in distress role pretty good. Not all the characters can be tough as nails, come on! The story had me a little peeved due to the lack of info exchanged to between characters, but by the end it all comes together and makes sense. I say to put the red ink away and just be entertained by this one... you'll won't be disappointed.
