When Luis Guzmán comes out to use his movie star charm to take this movie and put it into his pocket, you just go "Oh yes."

A homespun vision of the borough, the film nevertheless struggles to leave a mark, like paint sprayed into open air.

The outlines of the movie’s story are familiar, but Torres has resourcefulness, energy, and imagination to burn in how he tells it.

Tremendous. This reminded of the great indies we got in the 1990s.
