I watched this at home on BluRay from my local library. Being a white guy who grew up in the deep south, the Lowrider culture of East L.A. is pretty far from my interests, but I found that part of it very interesting.
I actually looked up this movie because of Melissa Benoist who plays a young photographer and becomes the girlfriend of Danny. Benoist had a starring role in the TV series "Glee" and currently stars as Supergirl in the TV series. She is cute and a good actress, but she is mostly wasted in her role here.
The father has two sons, a younger one, Danny, still at home and an older one, 'Ghost', just getting out of prison. The younger one is a budding artist but mostly painting graffiti around L.A., often having to elude police. The older was imprisoned for theft, stealing parts for his lowrider. The story evolves into the relationships between the father and the two sons who blame him for the early death of their mother.
Overall a worthwhile viewing.
