I honestly don't know why everyone hates on this movie.


If you watch the dvd and see additional scenes you'll see John Leguizamo saying that in this movie you will never see something and say "That can't happen in real life."
This movie is not about giving you an ending that will blow your mind (even though it does) it's about "Real Life" which is "Drama" in this cruel worl of ours, like we all know. The movie basically tells you a great story with a great end that makes everyone think that Victor Rosa is about to get killed and 5 minutes later Victor Rosa is talking about how he started a new life, so when John Leguizamo does actually gets killed peoople say "Oh i knew it would happen". So once again it's supposed to be ironic not surprising.
Amazing movie 9/10.

Wow, people actually liked this movie? Honestly it was one of the biggest pieces of trash I've ever had to sit through. Don't get me started on the Fat Joe scenes with his son and the shoot out where he couldn't even get his big ass off the couch. Takes the cake really, awful, awful film.

One the most "underrated" and best movies of it's kind ever made. Everything is flawless from the acting, plot, realizum, and directing. 8 out of 10....GREAT!
