I can't even think how Daddy Yankee can do a movie, the movie have the worst performances in the Spanish-language cinema history, Gangs...thats something new?....The movie its a copy of classic gangs films like "Blood in, Blood Out", "8 Mile", "Get Rich or Dye Trying" and "American Me". Daddy Yankee only wants to make a film because he are lowing down, he pass away, i will remember him for doing this awful piece of crap. I simply don't want to see nothing like this again, i prefer to watch Battlefield on Earth and listening Justin Bieber new album for the rest of my life. This movie its nothing and its a shame. Latin-Americans are the bad guys in this films.. All Latinamericans have guns and are Criminals?...this movie need something...and that is a message that the other Gang movies have. Blood In, Blood Out and American Me shows us that Gangs are the way of Evil...oh i forget MI FAMILIA, the Chucho parts pff, that film really make us understand the danger of bad companies. This movie its nothing for me.

I'm a professional uploader. Who has been going crazy for the release of this movie. Not just a movie, but a great FILM. [ Coño ] It even attracted my attention since 2005. When supposibly Daddy Yankee were talking' about making a movie. Yeap - since 2005 i had been waiting for it. 2008 I had the pleasure to buy it from amazon . com. Many people were asking me " Andy where u gonna get it ? " . I was like - I DON'T KNOW.But F-I-N-A-L-L-Y I was able to watch it. AND , Oh hell CHEA !. i loved it. i WATCHED it 3 times [ 2 in Spanish and once in plain English ] . The English version is funny - the way they talked <- MAD GHETTO. Just like WE NEW YORKERS know.Now : About the movie. I give it 10/10 , 5 Stars , " Se lucio ". Daddy Yankee and Maestro. In my opinion were the main characters - of course let's not forget about the other reggaetoneros.The question you should ask yourself is: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HATTERS, who said " Daddy Yankee is not gonna make it "?

Daddy Yankee stars as the head of a neighborhood gang. Torn between the life and the possibility of something with a girl from outside, and being warn down by the violence that takes down gang members and innocents alike, he's not sure which way to go. Well made, well acted with a sense of place and time that's unlike almost any fiction film I've seen, this is a very good drama. The film more often then not feels like you're watching the home movies of the people involved rather then a made up story. Clearly the people who made this know of what they show and it helps a great deal. To be certain the film isn't perfect, there is a bit of the formula that you find in films like this(going all the way back to the dawn of film), but at the same time the sense of life and reality bleeds off the screen. I'm not sure that the film is as good as I feel it maybe but it it is good enough to warrant a recommendation for anyone who wants to see what Inde-film should be.

I saw the movie last night & I was completely blown away. DY's performance was great as well for the rest of the cast however for me that stole the show was Maestro {Jeico}. A man who is willing to take out his childhood friend to gain control of the barrio that DY ran. 2 major bichote's running different parts of Valle Verde & Jeico wants it all ... first he gets rid of El Domi along with his crew ... that is one bichote down now the next is Wichy {Edgar's best friend; almost blood brother; At this point Dinero left the drug world to continue his career as a rapero), which Edgar left the business to Wichy and Jeico, but with greed, Jeico kills Wichy.. He rapes and brutally beats Nata {Edgar's sister}due to her denying him constantly at the end when she finally had enough of being his "amigita" & constant threats of killing her brother.What I liked about Edgar {DY's character} even though he's a drug dealer he cares for his community .. for example; Edgar & his gang are at the corner waiting for man {I forgot his name} as soon as the man gets out of the car with his wife, he and his gang begin to beat him .. during the beating Edgar screams at him saying "you enjoy raping young girls etc" Its a bit violent and the beating is not necessary but here it shows that even though Edgar is a drug dealer he doesn't tolerate that in his Barrio. Edgar had mad luv for his crew as well, especially Wichy.. he was like a blood brother to him, growing up together en el barrio juntos.Maestro performance was so great it made me so mad that I wanted to give him a tiro .. He was just completely wicked and didn't care who got in his way .. up to the point where he would kill his own men if they ever talked or heard music from Edgar. Maestro got the sadistic killer to the point ... playing both sides of the field gaining each sides trust only to attack to gain control of the Barrio.Many probably won't enjoy it but what I really enjoyed about the movie is that you get to see what people don't want to see ... reality of the barrio. I've been to places like that and I give them snaps for toughing it out in those areas its not easy but they struggle to give a good life to their kids when they can't afford it. I would watch it again ... and I will.
