I did not see the first film but read the quick information. Asians vs. Mexicans in East LA. In this film Mickey Solis (Damian Chapa) the Irish Mexican finds his family killed by the Asians and he gathers up some Mexicans to go after the Asians. That is pretty much it.
The acting was bad and the dialogue trite. The sound had an indoor echo due to low budget. Solis shows up to talk in the daylight, they talk inside and it is dark out. They shoot the passengers in a car, the windows are up and intact. Special effects were bad too. At times the film approached "so bad it is good" status, like the opening shootout with guys 6 feet apart, one behind a loveseat while the other is behind a small coffee table...his back sticks up above it. And the boring scene of the lawyer giving us history lessons.
The beach walking scene was a major WTF as our hero finds a book, "The Art of War" and converses aloud to his dead family. Is this supposed to be a low budget Irish-American art crime thriller? It was bad all around.
Guide: F-word, brief sex. No nudity. Filmed in English
