Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Andre Antonio Best movie ever. I think this movie is the one movie out of all that has the most epic quotes. There are even web pages devoted to quotes from blood in blood out. I am aware the actors are not up there with De Niro, Pacino and company but fact remains they helped create some of the most memorable characters in movie history. Who can forget characters like Popeye, Spider, Big Al or the troubled artist Cruzito! Also I think this movie appeals to something else than the wannabe gangster within us. It speaks of the sphere between cultures, the "in betweeners". Main character Milko is, as Montana tells him, "stuck in the middle." He struggles with being both "white" and Chicano. This movie really was a favorite back when I was a kid and to this day I still watch it from time to time and let it bring me back to East Los Angeles in the seventies. And did I mention the never ending source of quotes? "Hey Cinderella, go find yourself a fella", "I don't want his pork-chop, I want his life", "cuidado con el Chorizo we might need it for later" just to name a few of very legendary quotes this movie has left the world with.

paypalscam9002 I watched this movie back in 1993 when it cames out and probably over 20 times since (we're in 2011 already).Recently we bought a 3D TV and i wanted to see this movie again on our new 47" LED 3D... This movie is no doubt a masterpiece.A lot of people didn't see this movie back in 1993 but i believe the marketing responsible to promote the film did a terrible job.This movie should win some sort of Oscar... (beleive me i've seen thousands of great hits from 1960s to 2011 and Blood in Blood out should be listed among the top 50 drama of all time... it is in my top 20 without a doubt.I'm not going to review this masterpiece as there is no word strong enough to give justice to this work.The acting is really good. The special effect is too. (It's like every actor were born just to play in this movie).Have you ever watched a movie to the end and that years later you still want to know what happened to all the characters ? and of course will be willing to see another sequel ? Well this is the kind of movie that will make you say: I WANT MORE plz!

philcold2-614-250707 I've read several comments about this movie and I agree with most of them that give an excellent note to this film. For my part, I'd like to tell to everyone who likes movie scores that Bill Conti has made a fantastic job in this one. The music of Blood In Blood Out is amazing. It serves really well the ambiance and the spirit of the movie and I don't understand why this score has been so ignored by music amateurs. I dare to compare the chemistry which arose from this collaboration between the images of Taylor Hackford and the music of Bill Conti to the one who was born in the sixties between Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone. Great job Mr. Conti. Thank you for your talent.

bkoganbing Based on the real life experiences of poet Jimmy Santiago Baca, Bound By Honor covers two decades in the latter half of the 20th century as seen through the eyes of half brothers Benjamin Bratt and Jesse Borrego and their cousin Damian Chapa. Growing up more or less together, all three start out as gang bangers, but each has a different destiny and in many ways one's destiny is caused by the actions of the others.Borrego gets injured in a gang retaliation and works hard to not become a cripple. He does however become both a painter of note and a drug addict of considerable appetite. A tragedy there sets him and Bratt apart.Bratt also winds up in a feud with Chapa. When both were young gang bangers and looking to retaliate for Borrego, Bratt and Chapa are arrested. Because this was Bratt's first offense he got a choice of the military or jail time and he chose the Marines. Chapa however was sent to prison, to San Quentin to be precise where he ed the Chicano prison gang La Onda. Pretty soon Chapa is high in the gang councils and deep in the politics of the prison. Bratt in the meantime s the LAPD and destiny makes these two collide.Bound By Honor has an epic quality almost a kind of Chicano Gone With The Wind. The mostly Hispanic cast do a great job in depicting life in the Barrio. The film runs just about three hours and it's a tribute to director Taylor Hackford that your interest doesn't flag for a minute.Hackford also creates many interesting ing characters two numerous to mention, always the mark of a good film. But your interest is always in the three leads. You get to care about what is to become of them, what destiny has in store.There are certain similarities between Bound By Honor and the Edward James Olmos film, American Me. Personally I give a slight edge to this one, don't miss it if it is broadcast.
