This being the first film of director Fanc Reyes, one may say it is not bad at all. Starring John Leguizamo this is quite a standard story of a Puerto Rican drug dealers gang leader, trying to take the right turn in his life. To do it he takes a good home girl friend, and he tries to launder his drug money by partnering with a capital investor from the good side of New York City. As you may expect, his old world will not let him go that easily, and the new world he aspires to enter is not exactly what it seems to be.
The problem is that the action is not consistent enough, and there is hardly one scene, situation, or line that was not seen or heard in a previous movie. For a beginner in directing one would expect maybe less technique, but something new to say, or say it in a different mode. Nothing shows up, and the film ends being another drug dealers violent drama. 6/10 on my personal scale.
