Unfortunately, it's in a gangster film where Chicano strength transforms into a story of ruthlessness. The plot is simple: Chicano fights against the Russian, unable to overcome the guilt of their previous conquest. I was interested about the possibilities, because I’m always up for blaming others, but I want good acting with it. The film didn't feel Chicano, and the attempts of culture,some candles in view and a mother curing with an egg, are lame. All the wrongs aspects are glorified:violence, lesbians, and sexuality. Wrong because the women appear naked as accessories.
If there was any admiration of the movie, it was for attempting to create a story where a Chicano becomes an urban folk hero.
But really, the movie was just terrible. Terrible for whichever ethnicity would have stared in the film, and much worse for calling itself Chicano.
