The black magic/ voodoo attribute was pointless...


Seriously, why did they feel the need to include it? It was a plot point that went no where.

It's referred to a few times in the film. After their house gets torched and the guys come back, they see all the spray paint on the walls and someone mentions Santeria. Nestor used it as a fear tactic to control the locals in the neighborhood. For many island people, Santaria holds great power. It's common in the Miami drug culture.

Why would it surprise you that drug dealers deal in black magic, voodoo, evil spirits?
