There are certain movies that are made so beautifully, they move you to your core. From the opening titles to the closing lines and credits, Blood In Blood Out is a complete masterpiece. How it was overlooked and didn't get the recognition it deserves is an indication of how the movie industry operates.
Whether you enjoy the gang / prison movie genre or not, this movie will touch you, even if only from a cinematic perspective. It is a genuine work of art.
Some may criticise the acting and certain elements of the gang members' dialogue. Which would be highly unfair. It's raw and real. It would've been more unrealistic had those aspects of the dialogue been "perfectly scripted and acted" if that makes sense. Again, it's raw and real, as if acted by real gang members in an amateur dramatics class.
Bill Conti (Rocky) composed the film score for this movie. Needless to say the soundtrack is, again, a masterpiece.
