Khali, the Killer - Leben und sterben in East L.A.

Cool movie. Some lines were interesting...wonder where the writers got their material from...

He's a hit-man. He's suppose to be a culinary master, but his kitchen is empty. He's suppose to be Latino, but he doesn't speak Spanish. Terribly written and with a fake 70's style that is grating and laughable.

Obviously written and directed by someone who doesn't know anything about Latinos. Pathetic.

The opening scene of the film sets expectations for savage brutality at any moment. And with that tension Jon Matthews is able to insert cathartic, playful humor to great effect. The score, which channels American Westerns, is a surprisingly perfect fit for this unconventional crime drama set in LA.

Richard Cabral fills his role so completely and convincingly that it came as no surprise to learn that Cabral has roots in gang culture. The only thing not believable is that his character doesn't speak much Spanish, because he has the pronunciation of a native speaker. But his powers of sensibility and fearlessness create so much emotional authenticity that it's often easy to forget you're watching a work of fiction. A strong supporting cast and unexpectedly subtle cinematography results in some stunning storytelling for a highly relevant story.

I'll keep it simple, it's a great film, well acted, directed and moreover, entertaining. Obviously not gonna be everyone's cuppa tea but I dug it. Yes, not gonna break grounds in film making but was a genuinely entertaining and decent film. Not sure why it's got such a low score. Acting is really good, story is simple and kinda predictable but in a good way. I think, just see it yourself and make no preconceived judgement and I bet you'll enjoy it.

It's good movie not perfect but better than most of the movies out there in my opinion! You should watch it!
