Negative Positive
Title: Hard for me to rate...
Review: Too bad there is no "in-between" the stars... I didn't hate this movie, but to say I liked it might be stretching it out a bit... Most of the acting was BAD, so bad that your feelings will probably be hurt. While I can appreciate one reviewer's enthusiasm for Chapa's use of Rio Grande Valle locals as bit parts, it sure took away from the film and actually gave it an unintentional humor. Everybody who took a bullet fell forward with a protective arm up! It was almost reminiscent of a 50s or 60s western where the actors took a bullet and just seemed to stiffen up.I respected Damian Chapa's work in "Blood In, Blood Out," but I am having a hard time enjoying his subsequent movies. Even some of the Mexican DVDs in Wal-Mart's $5 bin have better acting and story lines... and I am NOT being sarcastic here. (Try "Destino Mara" and tell me if I'm wrong.)
Is the review positive or negative?
