    This movie is the best storyline LA gang movie for anyone that doesn't like it they haven't seen it all the movie is long but great action scenes and very realistic. If you like movies like American Me, Scarface, and Carlitos Way then this is another movie you'll love.

    What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said. I have seen this movie probably over 40 times and I know it's a terribly acted movie, but it still seems to captivate me every time I watch it. I know the story from beginnig to end but I still make it a point to watch it at least once a year. Back in the 90's when I was in the Marines, you could always count on one of us Latino jarheads to have a copy; we'd get drunk and quote the movie and we had a blast. This is one of the best, worst, terribly acted, most endearing movies all at once of all time. I love this movie, just watch it and form your opinion.
