Writer/Director Ernesto Díaz Espinoza’s Mandrill is Finally Coming to DVD

Now, I don't want to try and predict Zaror's career, and he definitely has the martial arts chops and camera-ready looks to be an action star, but I don't think this is the movie that is going to take him there. It simply tries so earnestly to present a character cooler than Shaft,...
