The movie while having a few actors that I've never heard of before, had a decent plot line and a halfway decent acting cast. Like any other gangster/drama/revenge movies, it is centered around the typical genera of any other movie. Money,payback and settling old scores.I was not expecting a whole lot from the movie, but I was rather impressed with the acting skills of the female actress and the commanding presence for a female actress in a lead role.Definitely a shocker, worth renting with a decent plot line and cast and crew. Starts off kind of slow, but it leaves you anticipating whats going to happen next.I won't go into detail, why spoil it, rent it and see what you think for yourself.

This is not a John Singleton movie as the person above me stated. And the reason it was given so little attention is because even though the cast of what most would consider unknowns is strong, it is just a generic John Singleton style movie replacing African Americans with Hispanics. If this film had been made 15 years ago it might garner more attention, but with so many generic life in the hood films made over the last two decades it is easy for something like this to slip under the radar. Good acting is not enough to carry a movie, there has to be a strong plot and character development. In fact, I'm surprised more Latinos were not upset by what seemed to me a very stereotypical look at life in a ethnocentric neighborhood. Personally, I feel a move like "Wassup Rockers" did a better and more entertaining job of looking at diversity issues, crime, bigotry, and even inter-cultural separation. Yes, its nice to see more Hispanic and Latinos in films. But if this is the roles they are getting no progress has been made and they got a long way to go.

I watched this movie on Christmas night, it was awesome. Everyone always told me about it, but i never took the time to watch it. i am so glad that i watch it, i was so shocked by the suspense. The actors & actresses were great, thank "John Singleton" for having the perfect cast. We have a coffeehouse in Leimert Park. Located in Los Angeles, Ca, and John you frequent at times. Man, when i see you again, i will give you your props, for creating another great film on the scale of Boyz N The Hood. Love the film...Hopefully, there will be many other films of the caliber, by you........... I'll have to watch this one again & again.... I'll let everyone in the Leimert park Village, know about this one... Again, thanks for a great film.........."5th Street Dick's Coffeehouse" Rick

21 years after her husband, a drug dealer looking to get out, is gunned down, a woman finds that her husband's cronies are still looking to kill her and her family. Her son at first doesn't believe her, but when he's forced to defend the family home against attackers plan are made to turn the tables on the attackers.Good little action thriller from John Singleton. I don't know what else to say but this is an old school style crime thriller that has characters you care about and real tension that comes from the characters and situations. Definitely worth a look at some point.6.5 out of 10
