pretty good, 7 May 2002

The list of problems I had with this film is long, and I agree with
many of the comments I've read and heard about the film,that it's
unoriginal and a knock-off of Boyz in the Hood, but you know what?
Who cares?This film is actually pretty good and has a strong
sense of humor to counterbalance it's more serious side. After a
half an hour of snickering at some awkward scenes, I gradually
began to get hooked, and by the time thepowerful climax arrived,
the director and the actors had won me over. Sure, the film isn't
perfect and some scenes don't work, but rarely do Latinos get 30
million dollars to make their personal films, if given the chance to
make films at all. Despite what some people have written about
this film, the cinematography is excellent, and so are some of the
actors like Jacob Vargas, and the guy who played Gramps is
terrifying. The director did a great job with the few resources he
had and his heart and passion are evident in every frame. One
thing that bothers me, particularly from fellow Latinos, is that
they're always ready to knock a film like this by calling it negative,
or calling it "typical" or saying things like "not all latinos grew up in
the hood". Fine. Make your own movie! If you don't like hood
movies don't watch them, but don't knock a filmmaker for making a
movie about something he cares about, just like I wouldn't knock
Scorcese for making another "gangster picture", or the coen
Brothers for making another "film noir" picture. Film is film, and if
it's well done I'm ready to give it a shot, regardless of the subject
matter.
