Perfect cast and a good story

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I am a native of Northern New Mexico and I am familiar with the writers, actors and extras in this movie, so I really wanted to like it. My rating of this movie is a 3, because I really didn't get drawn in like I would have liked to. The story line was confusing as to what exactly happened to make Whitey do the things he was doing and I was never really convinced what role his family played (drug dealing was the assumption). The writers stayed as true to their roots of Northern NM as they could, but I believe this was to their detriment because the targeted demographic seemed to be too focused on the filming location. The technical production of this movie was good and the main actors were good as well, but I was just let down by the overall flow in how the story was written. I think Diego is onto something and is a talented artist, and I just hope he doesn't give up on his new craft of movie making.Worth watching, but was hoping for more from the writers.

The reason I watched this movie is that it has an original story. I give it points for that and a few more for some good performances, especially including Elizabeth Peña, Raoul Trujillo, Veronica Diaz, and Melissa Cordero. It just wasn't well written. The story has people showing up with no clear idea who they are or what their connection to the plot is. During important scenes I wondered things like, Who is that? What place is that and why did they go there? I supposed the snake bit Whitey because of a brujeria because Whitey was not bothering it and wasn't too close to it, but that is entirely my assumption. If the brujo didn't cause it, then that was lame and unrealistic. I wondered how Alicia got the keys to Whitey's car. Decent writing could at least have plugged a few holes. Good writing could have made this movie really special. Overall I would say nice try. Keep working on your craft because you got my attention.

Well, I apologize in advance to those of you like myself who wasted time watching this god awful movie. Most, if not all of the movie, made no sense. Whoever wrote this script should seek another profession. This movie was well advertised, but man was I disappointed. I really felt that this movie would actually be worth watching. Well, there's a couple of bucks from the red box which I will never get back.Where do I begin, the two women that played sisters couldn't act at all. They probably could of casted some better looking women who could of acted as bad as these two did, just saying. The bad guy in this movie which I thought was the middle eastern dude from 40 year virgin acted terrible. This movie had a sex scene in it, which I couldn't understand why. This movie had actors trying to either play native Americans or Mexicans, I had no idea I was so confused. Also, the individuals in this movie had jobs. They were either tattoo artists, sculptures or painters which brought nothing to this movie. This movie had decent visual effects, but was really over shadowed by how the movie was as a whole to include the poor acting and total confusion throughout this film. This movie is not even a B-rate movie, it's just terrible.The only bright spot which was small, was the music. Probably would look into snatching up the music CD, but that's it. Do not watch this movie, not even if your paying money into the red box, that's money you could use buying food from McDonald's dollar menu.

It looks like an attempt to create something like "american me". If so, it didn't work out at all.Although the image itself is not too bad, the plot of this movie is really poor. If it was for me I would not go through all the hassle to produce the movie at all and wait for a better story to start with. Further the acting of namely the macho characters in the movie is overdone and not credible and therefore quite annoying to watch.The movie might be worth watching for a select group of people like the crew itself, it's family and friends, but further I cannot imagine that someone gets a good kick out of it. I rate every movie I watch and rarely rate something 3 stars, I gave this movie 3 stars.
