Of course, that is until he finds the men responsible, and decides on control and taking matters into his own hands.
    Great cast- Rosie Perez and John Leguizamo! A must-see.

    Great drama movie along with some action scenes about a robbery. Takes place in the hoods of LA. Not quite big actors here but still some familar faces. The story and the performances are on high level so its a enjoyable flick from start til end. Worth seeing ,, enjoy.

    I'm surprised to see Rosie Perez doing something these days. I was wondering how Felix was gonna prove his innocence after all that happened to him

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A monotonous slog through dirgeland, telling a story that seems strung out beyond all reason, with flashbacks upon flashbacks delaying interminably the underwhelming climax. full review
