Latinos in the United States need to start supporting Latino films. This movie was written and directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz, a Venezuelan. It starred Edgar Ramirez, a Venezuelan actor, Ana de Armas, a Cuban actress, and Ruben Blades, a Panamanian. This movie was based on the true life story of a Panamanian/Mexican boxer, Roberto Duran. The entire first part of the movie was completely in Spanish and filmed in Panama. If we want to see more Latinos being depicted on the big screen, we need to support Latino movies.
I don't think this movie was promoted right. It should be re-classified as a romantic-comedy. They should re-do the movie trailer showing the Love Story between Roberto and Felicidad. Then, actors, Edgar Ramirez and Ana de Armas, need to go together to every Spanish language talk show and promote the film again! A few minutes on Univision's "El Gordo y la Flaca" talk show will reach millions of Latinos.
They should also change the Title to: "Manos de Piedra" (una historia de amor).
This movie should have been a hit!
