Featured review
I was looking forward to watching this and I finally did get an opportunity to watch the film. I found the film content to be of a low quality story line which attempted to focus on the struggle of young men and their women living in the East Los Angeles burroughs which were run by the Mexican street gangs in the evenings.
Emphasis was directed at two brothers one who willingly entered the street life and embraced it and the other brother more cautious of the pitfalls of hanging around the troublemakers who by the their gamg name and late night activities would lead them into a life of crime and violence.
Of course there has to be a bit of romance involved as well as the muscle cars of the era but the story line itself was very predictable and there were no outstanding nor memorable perforfances by any of the actors.
Unfortunately I must profess I was disappointed and I would recommend a pass on this gang related film. I give it a lower than desired 4 out of 10 IMDb rating.
