Definitely a MUST SEE movie
Wow! - haven't seen a movie this good in a very long time. I was completely blown away. The film was recommended to me by a friend who had said she had seen it at a screening at the Egyptian in Hollywood a while back and that at that screening they said that it was made in only 15 days for less than $100,000 dollars. This usually tells me not to see something... But since I usually agree with her when she says she likes or dislikes something I thought "what the heck" and rented it. Boy, am I glad I did. What an amazing film. I really loved these characters. The acting was out of this world because I felt that I got to know each of them during all of the troubles they had. They seemed real to me. In fact, the whole movie seemed real to me so I guess that is a good director too. I can't remember the last time I was impressed by a film (so much crap comes out these days.) If you can find this gem, rent it, rent it, rent it!
A great many good things in a very little film
Never expected to write a review about a film here, especially not one I had never heard of before renting it. It also takes a lot to impress me. But let me tell you, for a very small film, this one has it all. Where to start? Well, the unknown actors were better than many of the A-list stars I drag out $8-$10 dollars to see every weekend. They were real, honest portrayals that touched me and made me believe in their humanity. And their strong sense of "family" was true and easy to identify with. The director is a gifted storyteller, with an ability to place the audience in the minds of the characters and let you "feel" right along with them. Production design was good, which I always find unusual for a film of this size. Even the music was first-rate. In fact, John Williams could take lessons from this guy on when to play music and when to have silence. There was a perfect blend here, which added to scenes but didn't overshadow them. I was continuously impressed by this film while viewing it and am surprised that you can still find stuff this good out there to watch. What else can I say but to encourage you people not to miss this little gem. And RUN, don't walk, to the video store. Trust me on this one.
A happy ending to a sad reality
Mexico meets the United States in this gritty and sad, yet ultimately fulfilling story about daily Mexican workers in California. The brothers each have stories of hard work, drug dealing, prostitution and the happiest one in the end has a gay wedding. The most wonderful aspect of seeing this film is that it is not a parody, a comedy, farcical or unrealistic. It does give a cinematic yet accurate portrayal of the issues facing immigrant Latin Americans and especially Mexicans. The relationships enable you to share the Mexican joyfulness, family and sorrows while they discover America and begin to translate their values. A MUST-SEE for anyone interested in these modern-day events and intercultural relations in any way. Most of all, it was an enjoyable movie.
Heartwarming, touching, a real gem
The movie has heart and soul, which you can't say about a lot of movies these days. It's a small film with a big message. It's the story of a group of day laborers in Los Angeles. Working and living in Los Angeles, I see these men standing in the 7-11 parking lots and I wonder what their lives are like. This movie helps you understand what they go through. Acted well, directed beautifully. I have the DVD of the movie and I recommend it to anyone with a heart and a willingness to look outside of themselves. It won a bunch of awards at film festivals, all of which are greatly deserved. I urge you not only to see the movie, but to encourage others to see it as well.
Fantastic Film!!! Recommended it to all of my friends!
What a TERRIFIC film - why doesn't Hollywood put out movies of this high caliber?? I was engaged from the first frame to the last. The performances really drew me in. In fact, by the end I felt like I knew these three guys. This movie is an excellent portrayal of these workers and better yet, it doesn't judge them, just shows what types of things they struggle through. I don't know why anyone would think this cliché. The things they go through are recognizable but that's what makes it so very real. I think the direction was first-rate, pacing really moved and I also thought the music was exceptional and really added to the mood of the piece. I have recommended it to all of my friends, though it is sometimes hard to find at blockbuster. I can't rave enough and hope that they make a sequel!
