Powerful prison film about Mexican mob members. Olmos is good. But movie revolted true Mexican mob, they killed film advisors. Look it up.

I wanted to like this but it rushes through so much that when ppl die, I don’t even care to miss them. No time spent establishing anyone.

Sad story, but honestly it was kind of a chore to watch. There’s not really anyone to root for. And I know that’s the point but dang.

A gritty, intense drama exploring the harsh realities of gang life, focusing on themes of identity and redemption in a violent world.

Good movie about gang life, prison, and readjusting to freedom. Underrated 90s movie.

Good when it came out. Now, it just seems like what a white person thinks what a Hispanic gang looks like.
