Overall, this is a great movie to see. The actors are ones that I enjoy and hope to see have successful careers. The plot was OK, but had moments where it almost brought tears to my eyes as I remembered growing up in a rough Latin culture. This movie did a good job showcasing the black Latin culture and the new Puerto Rico.
This movie was a stepping stone in the right direction for Puerto Ricans everywhere. The movie depicted the Puerto Ricans not typically seen in movies. By this comment I mean it showed the Puerto Ricans of many different skin complexions, hair types, language (notice the different Spanish (slangs)), etc. Not only did it show a variety of individuals, the movie somewhat depicted a little bit of the values that make the culture very rich...family unity. I loved the nostalgic moments (can't specify...will ruin surprise).
Although it was a great movie, there are a few things that I did not like about it. Personally, I am a little tired of the good guy bad guy plot and would like to see maybe a romantic or comedy movie representing more of the Puerto Rican folks and how we live everyday.
Overall great movie. Enough action and drama to keep you entertained.
