I was intrigued with the fact that its a gangster flick with not so much bloody violence. It lends to the credibility of a not so violent soap which is how Spanish TV and movies typically like to portray their characters in film. I prefer this type of story line but am sure its not everyones cup of tea. This story line still resonated with me, even though the acting was sub-par. I felt the directing was very good and enjoyed the mix of Spanish English dialog. I have a soft spot for gangster flicks like this. Kudos to "Dame Dame" by Que No feat. Abusivo and Danny Ranking.....Enjoyed the introductory soundtrack to start the story off.
