This movie follows a gang of young thieves who are known as the "Red Trans Am Band", since they use a (stolen) red Trans Am when committing their crimes.
Who are these hoodlums? The main players are the leader ("Julian", played by Miguel Angel Rodriguez) and his girlfriend ("Mariana", played by Andrea Aguirre.) To make things interesting, Mariana's father ("Comandante Romero", played by Eleazar Garcia, Jr.) is the police commander! He does have some suspicions about what his daughter is doing with the boyfriend.
Julian promises Mariana that they will do one final job and then settle down to start a family. They want to break open a safe located in the home of a wealthy factory supervisor. They expect to find lots of money and jewels
But they discover a lot more than that! There are several certificates of deposit worth tens of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, these are also being sought by some vicious gangsters who were also planning to break into the safe! The lead gangster ("Quinones", played by Roberto Ballesteros) is ruthless and determined to get revenge. Stealing those certificates was the worst thing that the "Red Trans Am Band" could do!
I enjoyed watching this action movie. The acting was convincing. I especially liked the main gangster.Something about his mannerisms made it clear that he was evil. On the other side, the story line was a little convoluted. And I also find it interesting, when people are shooting guns, some of them have a tendency to stand up in clear view and take a lot of time to aim their pistol. Curiously, they seem to get shot before succeeding! A final thing: A musical group known as "Las Incas" is well represented in this movie. They perform in a local restaurant where the main characters frequently gather. We get to hear some of their songs all the way through as the camera pans from the vocalist to the guitarist to the drummer and back to the vocalist. If you like music that is so often played in Mexican restaurants, then you will certainly enjoy this.
