As mentioned in other reviews, it has a great plot twist. Ruben Garfias is a brilliant actor, plain and simple. And Jojo Henrickson, who wrote, directed, edited, and had a secondary acting part, can evidently do it all. The only disappointment for me was that I was hoping and expecting to see the female lead in a topless scene, but for some reason it did not happen. But still, the story was engaging, the characters well-performed and written, and basically the whole think showed a lot of competence and care. Henrickson deals with racial tensions in a realistic and non-preachy way, without irritating me. He remembers, the point is story-telling and entertainment. Well done. Look for the two big talents in this film, (Garfias and Henrickson), to reunite in the futuristic sci-fi barrio thriller GB: 2525, now in post-production according to IMDb database.

This film is available now on Netflix and I HIGHLY recommend it. The visual look and acting and writing all work together in a cool way. Distinct and interesting characters, somewhat profound and poignant comments about human nature, and of course the unexpected plot twists. This movie has a lot going on. Be sure to consider it's a fairly low-budget flick, so you don't get the explosions and all that, but the story, characters, and overall quality shine through all that. A must see for anyone serious about film. And especially, an inspiring piece of work for any aspiring filmmaker. Oh, and don't forget to pay attention to Don Epifanio and his "partner."
