Is there a way to turn around?
24 January 2007
Victor Rosa(John Leguizamo)is a common dealer believing in the American dream and thinking about a new mogul to be him,one day the best friend of his girl introduces him one faking "business man" called Jack Wimmer(Skaarsgard)to convince him in blanking his illegal tender,the NASDAQ looked a good choice to chance his turbulent life,but when he thought in a new "yuppie" life along his beloved Carmen,the smart dealer fades away before the dark intentions of his new "friend",the predator is now the prey when Victor "invests" all his bucks plus US$ 1'500,000 borrowed by his main supporter "La Colombiana"(Isabella Rossellini),and when the new take-off fails he decides to take revenge against Jack and Trish(Denise Richards)slaying both deceivers with his own hands.

Trying to make one last chance to get easy,his old dues are paid in the same way he decided to punish the betrayal both-some,maybe the director and the writers wanted to show a moral lesson:"when you come into a hard pathway,you won't come back for sure",maybe this flick is not "Scarface,"The Godfather" neither "Goodfellas",however it fulfills his right goals featuring Leguizamo in a good performance.
