NelsonD.Dec 7, 20028Arenas will impress Vivendi with this one. The story will resonate with youth, urban and Latino audiences; and Blades/Leguizamo/Sonia Braga/Rossellini is a powerful international draw. Flashy story, great soundtrack...this is a winner.

ErnieH.Dec 10, 20028I agree with the ladeez. Drug thug shootem up is tired, lowdown and negative. But it's a nice kick to see some heavy Latino action up on the screen, and Johnny L. is some kinda actor, Jim. Next time, I just hope someone does a Latino scientist, brain surgeon, Nobel-prize winner. I'm tired of the lowlifes and it's an insult. Is this what LATINO film makers are up to? Damn.

AdamP.Dec 13, 20028I'm not to much of a critic, but I feel this move is a good show of actors and I likey the music too. Too much drogas I agree very much! But is good too see latinos get to be the actors.

AndrewT.Dec 6, 20022The script and direction are utterly inept, but the movie taps into a vibrant culture and an explosive market (Latinos). It's just a matter of time...if Arenas and Universal blow their shot with more trash like this, a truly talented writer/director will come along soon and blow this market WIDE OPEN.

JosefinaR.Dec 9, 20027I didn't go for all the killing drugdealing and whatnot, but I liked the actors. John Legisamo and his girlfriend seemed really sincere, and the yuppie guy was a real snake.

ElenaR.Dec 9, 20029There's too many drug dealer movies. But this one had John Leguizamo who I really like, and the music was great.

TamikaR.Dec 9, 20028I recommend this movie. It reminds me of the Sopranos, only cooler. I loved it when Fat Joe kept blasting away, never getting up off his couch. Now THAT is a couch potato!

40This tale has been told and retold; the races and rackets change, but the song remains the same.

50Rossellini doesn't do much more than show up and be a hundred kinds of ravishing. Yet there's a movie in her ageless face and that untamed bouffant.

50Stereotypical, banally written bloodbath.
