I don't know where the previous review of this abomination came from, but any sensible person will see this film as a pathetic attempt to honor some stereotypical "Latin brotherhood" ethic. It even panders to the point of including prolonged prison scenes where a bunch of Latino actors get to wear shirts buttoned to the top, flash a lot of gang signs, and call each other "ese" and "homes" way too often. The film's design is laughable (the film is supposed to take place from 1973-1984, but all the hairstyles and clothes look early '90's). Worst of all, this turkey honors the age-old insult of having a Caucasian actor (the blank-staring blond robot playing Miklo) as the central character in what is, ostensibly, a Hispanic story. What a joke...I'm just glad I caught this on premium cable and didn't fork over four bucks to rent it.
