Blood In, Blood Out

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

Review: The reason why I saw this movie was because of the Hispanic influences in the film.
Blood In Blood out is one of the best "gang" movies that i have seen so far. Most of this type of movies were only about killing someone and drugs. The...

Pros: One is given an in-depth view of a part of another culture.

Cons: Immature viewers might consider the movie to be a stepping stone for crime.

The Bottom Line: I would certainly recommend this movie to any mature viewer who needs to find perspective, reality and truth. A REAL PIECE OF ART!

Review: Without going into much detail regarding the movie, no opinion would do justice to the excellence I was presented with during the 3 hours I spent watching this movie. I take my hat off to the cast, producer, director and all involved in the making. A...

Pros: long and graphic

Cons: none

Cons: can lose interest towards the end

Pros: Portrayal of the Latino culture, Good insight in to San Quentin.

Cons: Pace of the plot, Length of the movie.

The Bottom Line: Watch if you have 3 hours to spare.

Pros: A sometimes entertaining little bit of filmmaking

Cons: Poorly conceived, preachy, stereotypical characters

The Bottom Line: Not as authentic as "American Me", more mass-market oriented. I imagine the WWF crowd might like this. It's S.I.M.P.L.E.

Review: Ok, I like reviewing films that deal (for the most part)with Latinos. Two of those films, "My Family, Mi Familia" and "American Me" have been compared with the epic tale of the Corleone family, "The Godfather". The patter surrounding this flick was not...
