As mentioned in other reviews, it has a great plot twist. Ruben Garfias is a brilliant actor, plain and simple. And Jojo Henrickson, who wrote, directed, edited, and had a secondary acting part, can evidently do it all. The only disappointment for me was that I was hoping and expecting to see the female lead in a topless scene, but for some reason it did not happen. But still, the story was engaging, the characters well-performed and written, and basically the whole think showed a lot of competence and care. Henrickson deals with racial tensions in a realistic and non-preachy way, without irritating me. He remembers, the point is story-telling and entertainment. Well done. Look for the two big talents in this film, (Garfias and Henrickson), to reunite in the futuristic sci-fi barrio thriller GB: 2525, now in post-production according to IMDb database.
