DANG IT, I was NOT expecting to like this movie so much !!! I was expecting a car film (as Fast and Furious) and a wild crazy ride. Instead I got an incredible, (relatable) performance by every family member, education on the Lowrider culture and knowledge about the Hispanic pride and history behind it, and how we ALL must not lose our heritage (I could seriously put my Polish genetic history in here).....it is a film with MANY LEVELS that you simply MUST watch. You know how some films keep you thinking about the characters and their lives after you watch it???? THIS is DEFINEITELY ONE OF THOSE FILMS !!

Normally I wouldn't watch this flick because it's really about the lowrider culture famous with the South American people living in the USA. Not that the culture is bad but is really is filmed in their language but what tricked me is that Eva Longoria and Melissa Benoist are in it, famous from Desperate Housewives and Supergirl. Eva is recognizable but Melissa is harder to recognize. So I picked it up and I must say that it really is a good flick, a bit cliché here and there, you know son being prisoned and the father ignoring him and it all explains itself throughout this flick but ion the other hand the cars shown, and there are a lot, are a must see.So if you dig muscle cars rebuild into lowriders then this is a must see.

This film tells the story of a young man who is an aspiring graffiti artist. His brother has just been released from prison, and his mechanic father does not approve of him pursuing his dreams."Lowriders" is really not my world, and therefore I have difficulty in connecting with any of the characters. I never knew cars bouncing up and down existed, and never imagined that it was actually a popular thing. Graffiti is not my passion either, so I basically have very little in common with the characters. The only thing I have in common is the ability to feel bad during the lows of life, but that is not enough for me to enjoy watching "Lowriders".

A young street artist in East Los Angeles is caught between his father's obsession with lowrider car culture, his ex-felon brother and his need for self-expression. Lowriders is a film that i wanted to check out for some time now and mostly because of Melissa Benoist and honestly it did not disappoint, of course the film didn't go out without people criticizing it, it currently sits on a 55% on Rotten Tomatoes with a 67% on the Audience Score and a 5.7/10 here on IMDb and i highly disagree this isn't some kind of "Fast and the Furious" movie you won't see ridiculous car chase sequences or the Rock doing a spear in Vin Diesel it's not mindless fun it's actually a character study piece with some really great performances by Gabriel Chavarria (War for the Planet of the Apes), Theo Rossi (Luke Cage), Demian Bichir (Alien Covenant), Melissa Benoist (Supergirl) and Eva Longoria (Harsh Times) the entire Cast gives some pretty good performances and each of them has a vision for example Miguel wants to reunite with his sons Danny and "Ghost", Lorelai wants her art to be recognized and Gloria simply wants her family united once again. You do get to see the Lowriding world and it's cars and it's quite beautiful to say the least but you also get a pretty heavy drama about 2nd chances and fatherhood and most important about love and art. It does have it's flaws like it dragged in certain moments and i wish that things went a bit better for certain characters but overall i really enjoyed it a lot and i loved the style that it had this wasn't another car chase thriller or whatever you wanna call it it was actually a pretty decent and smart drama with some pretty good performances by a talented cast of actors. (8/10)
