Mexican Gangster (2008) User Reviews

Better than it's production value

Clearly not a film with much of a budget, it's still cool in it's own right.

Written directed and starred by Miklo from blood in blood out, it's merits outweigh its shortcomings. It's a relative 8/10

Basically it's a good fun action movie somewhat reminiscent of blood in blood out, which is what I always think of when i see this guy.

I thought that him handling a pump action shotgun with one hand and a pistol in the other was a little far fetched, but apparently it's an elite tactic, so thats cool. There's some other really intelligent stuff too.

Bottom line, the story, which includes mentally unstable lesbians (cant go wrong with that) is plenty good enuff to make it enjoyable.

Loved it.

Yes, this is a low budget movie.. but except for some plot mistakes, I really liked it. I've watched it several times. I think I like it mainly because of the cast of characters that made this come alive. Detective Poppas was a great bad guy! Brooklyn Bob was weasley and sneaky, but still entertaining. I LOVED the women in this film. Pia was without a doubt the female I loved the most. She was crazy in all the good ways. She really loved Olga and stood by her. I think Johnnys mom was believable as well. A very honorable mention is Vincent. He was a bad guy but he created a great character
