Boring

Absolutely the worst movie.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I winced during the arm breaking scene and I laughed at the "tampon" reference. Say what ever you want negatively about this movie, but the fact is they MADE A MOVIE and its on the shelves in Blockbuster. How many people can say that? The acting isn't that great, but if you want great acting, rent a Al Pacino movie. The guns appear to be cap guns. Bruised eyes looks more like the results of a red marker fight and the gangsters have bed pillows with flowers imprinted on them. BUT, Illegal Business is what guerrilla film-making is all about... getting together with friends and making a movie for the love of it. This is exactly the type of movie we need to appreciate, respect and SUPPORT. Great job, guys.

Well the movie is full of bad words. Makes sense if you are using those words yourselves very often. I didn't like it for the fact that you cannot watch it with family. I give the movie 2 of 10. Well talking about the actors. They have done a decent job. Not special to write someone about it. The background score is also very dull. No suspense at all. Script is also very dull. Looks like the script has been written by someone who is very new in the field. Overall a boring movie. Since the start the movie is very slow paced. It does gather some pace in the middle but fades off during the end. Had the script been modified and some good songs or some interesting people been added, the movie could have been much better to watch.

My favorites are always low budget direct to video flicks and this happens to be one of my favorites. A GREAT freaking story with some crazy twists at the end. I thought the acting was incredible, at least all the lead characters. The camera was gritty and it reminded me of the shield. Lot's of action and shoot them up killings. If you're into crime lord action flicks then this is for you. I also liked the soundtrack. I think they're all Northern Cali rappers. Add it to your net flix cue and you'll be happy. 9 stars for an indie action. Better than a lot of poop out there today. It also reminded me of some early John Woo type action, like the stuff he did in Hong Kong before he went all Hollywood. If I had one complaint it's probably the lack of any sexy females but since this is an all out action shoot them up I guess I can't have it all. I always like to see breast though, HAHAHA.

This is the 10th movie collaboration from the brothers Ed and Jose Quiroz, with so much experience I would have expected better. The movie is centered on two gangsters who are working for Lead man played by Victor Sarigosa. On the acting front, most actors look very uncomfortable in their stance and some of the actors appeared to have trouble walking. Jose Rosete shines way way above the other actors and I believe saves the movie from being just awful, but even so, he is well below par. The film gets off to a shaky start, I initially thought that I had sat down in front of an adult movie, after about twenty or so minutes the film picked up pace and with some very good editing it became very good and dare I say engrossing, the most striking observation at this point is that there is little if no dialogue and each scene is cut to bare minimum in length. Overall it is the script and cinematography that lets this movie down more than anything but having said that, the camera work is probably good considering what equipment I imagine the crew are using. More noticeable is a lack of attention to detail. For instance the homes where most of the filming takes place are believed to belong to these tough criminals but the decor and level of cleanliness, not to mention a vase of flowers which wanders into shot several times leads us to think that they are the homes of middle aged ladies, which kept me thinking that these guys live with their mothers, but where are they? If this had been the first film by the Quirozes I believe it would have been a good attempt, however, after more than ten films apiece the product is very poor. Sorry guys
