A little bit more than a classic gangster movie!

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2020)

I decided to grant this movie the rating of 9. Personally, it isn't the best movie I've ever seen, and not the best movie with gangsters/corrupt cops either. I've watched a lot of such movies, with similar plots but I was positively impressed by the atmosphere which this one creates. The perfect mix of the images highlighting Jake and Alonso driving through the hood and the tensioned music playing on these moments, makes you think and believe that this is a harsh reality and of course, as Alonso said once in the movie, "what you learn in the academy is nothing compared to what you see on the streets". Other nice points of this movie is the plot, which is totally imprevisible, always asking if Alonso is good or bad and the morale which implies to stick to the good rules and do what is right, because you never know when this is going to return back at you (I am talking about the saving of the girl who was so close to being raped. That deed, saved the protagonist life, otherwise, the mexicans would have killed him). Of course, there are some small errors through the playtime, but nothing bothered me.
