  I viewed this movie because it got such terrific ratings. However, it was probably one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. The acting, or should I say "over" acting, was ridiculous. I don't know what bothered me more: the fake Mexican accents, or the crazy way the actors flung themselves around while speaking. The "gangster talk" was just ridiculous, with too much"orale", too much, "hey vato". The worst dialogue ever... Maybe this was considered a good movie 20 years ago??

  Like a Lifetime Original Movie version of American Me with a cast of actors leftover from the auditions.

  Recently viewed this film which was called, "Blood In Blood Out" and could hardly believe the great details and realistic way this film was produced. There is no doubt that it showed what Prison Life really is like among all races, Black, Brown, White and many more and how each group has to struggle to exist and at the same time have fun, make money and kill each other. If you wanted sex in prison, you had plenty of willing partners and it just might be a very difficult and hard way to deal with it, or just simply getting raped when you least expect it. A young guy gets out of jail and tries to go down the straight and narrow path and winds up losing a body part and is constantly trying to become a gang member. There is a guy who has a great ability of being an artist, drawing great paintings and he gets cut up and his back twisted like a pretzel. If you want to go to prison, watch this film and it just might change your mind completely. Plenty of action and it goes none stop through out the entire picture.

  I've always hated this damn movie even as a kid. The dialogue is laughable, the acting is so overdone that it's ridiculous, the plot & story are way too long & predictable, the casting choices aren't all that great, the Mexican accents sound fake, & the movie as a whole is nothing more than an overlong, unintentional comedy. The movie has it's redeeming features, & even some powerful moments, but most of the time as I stated it's just so ridiculously overdramatic that you just can't help but laugh at it. Plot/Story: the plot is your typical 'Mexican gangster fighting over territory & against other gangs' cliché. Some modern movies still use this formula, but at least those manage to make it look less cliché & fresh. But this movie makes it look so corny & boring that it just ends up a badly done cliché. The story takes way too long, & at times you wonder what the real point of the movie is. And don't even get me started on how mindless it can be, & how bland & boring it is. And lemme tell you right now that I have a pet peeve for these movies. All of these ¨Vatos locos for life!¨, ¨Orale!¨ Mexican/Cholo turf gang banging crap is something that drives me to my last nerve. And I'm a Mexican myself. The way all of these Mexicans just throw their damn bodies all around to signal their macho-ness & their courage is just so laughable that I just can't take them, let alone the movie, seriously. Cast/Acting: The casting choices in this movie are nothing special, & any actor in here that isn't Danny Trejo, Billy Bob Thornton, & Ving Rhames is easily forgettable. As for their performances, again, their so ridiculously overdone they just end up being laughable. Yes, there are scenes in the movie where it has it's spectacular & powerful performaces, but it's so hard to take them seriously when all you're getting is nothing but actors throwing their hands & bodies around saying nothing but ¨Oye vato loco!¨ & ¨Orale ese perro!¨. Actors like Danny Trejo pull this stuff off because they don't look ridiculous doing it, & also manage to do it in such a strong way that they look great doing it. While the other actors just go by throwing their hands, bodies, & even faces all around the place. I'll credit the actors however for taking their roles seriously. Characters: I don't recall liking, let alone caring, for any character in here, In fact, you might not just even care about anyone in this film in general. Thus resulting in you not really giving a damn who gets killed or who's side your on & which gets hurt. Dialogue: Do I really have to go by telling you the dialogue this film has? Again, 95% of the film is nothing more than ¨Vatos locos!¨ ¨Ese!¨ ¨Familia!¨ ¨Carnal!¨ ¨Orale carnal!¨ & any other Mexican cholo quotes hat you can think of. It grows so tiresome of hearing those quotes over & over again that it almost gives you a headache. And as for the accents, the majority of them all sound fake, even if the actors themselves actually have the Mexican accent sounded fake. So all in all, this movie is just laughable. I didn't like it, I don't know why my friends like it, & I don't know why some of my own family liked it. You're better off watching much better more family & gangster films of it´s genre like ¨Hustle & Flow¨.

  this is my biggest guilty pleasure. I love this movie so much. Three hours of pure entertainment, not a dull moment and I have seen it at least over 50 times
