    A well done movie on a topic I couldn't care less about...and the movie did little to change that opinion.

    not bad, not bad at all - Esai Morales is great in this but i felt this movie had the potential for something more. I don't know - maybe i'm expecting too much. Definately worth a look though.....

    Probably the best acting job Lou Diamond Phillips ever did. His portrayal of Richie Valens was amazing. A young life cut short.....
