The plot is fairly predictable, but it does give a nice "slice of life" view of the Salsa scene & Puerto Rican community in New York City circa 1984 to 1985. Since it's 35 years later, it's almost a documentary look at various neighborhoods from that time. Would like to see a then & now of the shooting locations.
Has a nice soundtrack & score.
Had never heard of Ballistic Kisses before seeing, so grateful I was introduced to them via this movie.
Couldn't tell that this was Ruben Blades first feature. I knew he was also a singer/songwriter, but surprised to learn that he was doing it prior to being an actor.
Watched on youtube via my phone and Elizabeth Peña seemed familiar(vocal mannerisms) but didn't recognize. Her long hair and video quality didn't help.
Not something I would say was a must see, but even though I thought the story was bland, I did enjoy watching it as I worked on other stuff.
