Latino here, didn't care for this attempt at folklore action. It attempted to make some kind of superhero comic book out of the barrio. The problem is too many cameos by an all star Latino cast with nothing exciting to say or do. I usually like my action movies to have action in them. I also hate movie where folks are stereotyped.
The lead character allegedly made it out the hood but returns to the hood talking that "chignon" slang. Yes, because all Latinos who leave the hood talk with fake Mexican accents. The worse part is the acting. Especially the female lead villain who might be nice to look at but can't act in kindergartner's Christmas play. As if it's not bad enough she even screams her lines as the movie closes vowing revenge.
George Lopez is wasted here as a police captain. One bright spot is Frankie quionones. Aka, creeper, as Pelion the snitch. If you like your action movies boring, stupid comic book characters, and Latino celebrities stereotyped then this might be for you. For those who have a higher IQ, I recommend a loud pass.
