Watch Illegal Tender For Free

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I liked the movie, I think it was well written, well performed and overall well done...I liked it, but there are issues to be dealt with.Maybe I have the issues, maybe it's just me...However...in New York, when the shootings are taking place, nobody calls the cops while the two girls are being killed in the hallway.in New York - at a vacant lot (I assume where every other gangster has to be killed when they get killed) the guy gets shot up in front of a car yet every bullet hits the person and nobody misses a single shot and hits the car.in New Jersey OR Conneticut - wherever the family lives now, teen son has to pump out the rap music like every other gangster movie made...it's not bad enough that he drives a bad ass car and dresses like every other O.G. who lives, no he has to blast the car radio with rap, then when he leaves his car, he has to hit another bunch of rap tunes in his headphones...the guy just can't get that crap out of his ears.Move to the New Jersey house when they woman and man are scoping out the house looking to kill anybody inside...the girlfriend has to scream as they are hiding under the stairwell.I would only assume if somebody is coming at you with an arsenal of weaponry, that you would shut your mouth and keep a low profile as possible, but her logic is to scream and draw attention...OK...I guess. She's not the brightest bulb in the box, but hey...Then...when the two hit men come back to the house...the entire living room is shot to hell and the floor upstairs as well...however there is no intense police work or search or interrogation or investigative work done.Wow...and the hit men have no skills either.Now, I no longer live in the USA, but I can only assume that if you live in the States, own a gun or two and your job is to kill people that you would have some sort of skill and ability to actually do it. Not only that, but they have to draw so much attention while doing there job...secrecy is key guys.You wanna off somebody? You do it quietly, avoid the public as much as possible and in a fashion where you don't get remembered for any reason, so that you can walk away with little worry.Not only that, but they must have magic bullets - because when they are shooting upwards into a second floor, the bullets magically bunch off the broken window and head back down into a closet doorway instead of embedding themselves into the ceiling or upper wall...I guess the hit men do have special skills after all.Ah, the ending...what could be said....I won't comment any further, I might give away a few flaws.

Director Franc. Reyes gives crime movie junkies the powerful drama Illegal Tender. It didn't exactly grab me getting sluggish at times with nothing happening on screen except talking heads. After the gangsters who killed his father come to settle a score, a teenage boy and his mother turn the tables on the killers - one Latino family's quest for honor and revenge as the hunted become the hunters. Wilson DeLeon, Jr. is an exceptional college student with an adoring girlfriend, doting mother and a future full of promise. He has never wanted for anything, and he has never been forced to stand his ground. But when ghosts from his mother's past come back to haunt his present, he must defend his family ... and quickly turn into the strong man his father prayed he'd become.Nothing could stop Wilson's mother, Millie, from protecting her two boys. Forced to flee her home after gangsters killed her husband, she made an oath to give her children only the best. But all that changes when an enemy from the past catches up with them. It's finally time to take action - and now, they're done running. Weapons at the ready, Wilson, Jr. and Millie prepare for a final showdown with the murderer who robbed him of a father and her of a husband. Now, in a battle fueled by family ties and blood feuds, it will become very clear what happens when anyone tries to come between this son and his mother.I was moved by the connection between the mother and sons. Different relationship than the standard father son bond. I would recommend this DVD to rent or buy.

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.

21 years after her husband, a drug dealer looking to get out, is gunned down, a woman finds that her husband's cronies are still looking to kill her and her family. Her son at first doesn't believe her, but when he's forced to defend the family home against attackers plan are made to turn the tables on the attackers.Good little action thriller from John Singleton. I don't know what else to say but this is an old school style crime thriller that has characters you care about and real tension that comes from the characters and situations. Definitely worth a look at some point.6.5 out of 10
