Product Description
Three cousins raised in the chicano culture of east l.A. Must overcome their individual differences in order to conquer their obstacles. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 04/02/2002 Starring: Jesse Borrego Enrique Castillo Run time: 190 minutes Rating: R
Amazon.com
Taylor Hackford (An Officer and a Gentleman) directed this 1993 epic about Chicano gang wars in the California prison system and the differing and tragic paths of three boyhood friends. Half-brothers Paco and Cruz grow up with their cousin Miklo in Chicano Los Angeles, and each in turn is influenced by their violent environment and the prevalence of drugs on their streets. Cruz becomes an artist but winds up tragically addicted to heroin, while Miklo serves time for murder and Paco becomes a cop, setting the stage for a confrontation between the two when Miklo is released from prison. The film strives for an epic feel but takes too long to set up its interweaving stories. It is notable, however, for some fine acting on the part of Benjamin Bratt and Damian Chiapa, as well as smaller roles by Billy Bob Thornton, Ving Rhames and Delroy Lindo. Its depictions of life in the California prison system are harrowing and powerful, and serve as the centerpiece of this urban drama. --Robert Lane

 East Los back in the day... April 5, 2008
Salomon D. Lopez Jr. (Los Angeles, CA)
I give this movie a 5 out of 5. I'm from East L.A. and this shows what it was like back in the day, pretty close. The only thing I didn't like was the pinche hüero's acting but besides that, it was all good.
 SAW THE MOVIE February 5, 2008
Lester L. Carter (PHILA , PA)
Saw this some time ago. So now it's in the library. A rather interesting couple of hours. Not a waste of time.

While I am not a huge fan of the gang movies, my husband is. After having to watch it for the umptenth time, I have developed a tolerance. My husband thoroughly enjoys this movie and will watch it many more times.

This movie was lame! Bag acting, bad dialogue, bad directing, just bad! Who said chicanos like benjiman bratt should look like jewish homies, and Meklo are a typical chicano name, Ha Ha! the only positive thing I can say about this flick is it does end.
Blood in( my cash) Blood out( should have killed myself for watching it)
