Great job. The most accurate movie ever done on this subject! If you want the real story watch this! Wilson Ramirez in his 1st lead role. Phenomenal.
This movie is so good! The message behind it is very powerful. I cried twice because of how emotional it was at parts, it's definitely a must see, especially if you're a Christian! peace and love!
Despite it's budgetary restraints, the film successfully tells a cautionary tale about the romantic allure of gang life. Based on the true story of Ernest 'Kilroy' Roybal (portrayed brilliantly by Wilson Ramirez) the movie's shortcomings are outweighed by it's redemptive message.
Appreciate the fact this movie is based on a true story and that there's a positive message. It also seems there was a lot of thought and passion behind this film. However, the production quality in terms of sound, lighting and editing at times felt amateur. At times it seemed you were watching a documentary. Overall mixed bag at best.
