Reviews
The first must-see film of the year.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
The story is about an owner of a Bronx night club/stripper bar that is also the head of a Puerto Rican street gang that deals in drugs. He gets into hot water with a rival black gang when they accuse a woman he knows of stealing money from them.The production value is low but the story and scenery has a certain grittiness to it. Also the acting might not be from well-known movie stars but I still found it enjoyable. You don't see too many movies with stories about Puerto Rican gangs from New York. Of course I realize this movie isn't for everyone, but for me it's a little hidden gem.
This astonishing film most definitely belongs in the 'so bad it's good' category. Some turkeys can have you diving for the off button within the first half hour as they are unwatchable ( Lost In Translation, Battleship Earth, Color Of Night, Batman & Robin etc) but this one is clearly beneath criticism. As dreadful as the production values and script ( indeed was there one? ) both are, without a shadow of a doubt the highlight of this offering is the hilariously awful acting, especially by our hero Mr Vasquez AKA Tito Sunshine - 'The Drug Dealer With The Heart Of Gold' who ultimately proves to be virtually the last cast member standing.I would thoroughly recommend this one if it's available at your local rental store as it's far funnier than any Ben Stiller or Martin Lawrence 'comedy' that you're likely to see.
