Blood In Blood out, what can I say I liked it when I first saw it @ age 8 and I still like it.
Rating:  - This is a Hot one
Get everything situated, because this is a long one.But it's worth watching.I enjoyed this movie a lot.
Rating: - Finally! A prison drama with something to say.
I think what seperates this movie from other prison movies is there's a much bigger message to be learned, and it's not just stay away from prison (we all know that by now). However, there's more to it, and this movie shows you that. Don't get me wrong, you still have the same violent, death by shankings, and rioting scenes, but that's just not the primary focus of the whole movie. Let me just say that I am glad that it wasn't as violent and graphic in nature with the rape scenes as it's fellow Chicano prison film.. American Me. American Me was good, but it's so dark throughout. There were no happy moments in that movie from start to finish. Frankly, after watching that I went from calm and cool to sick and depressed. However, with Blood in Blood Out, this was the first time they tried to actually give you a happy ending. This movie is about much more than drugs and prison rape scenes. It's about family, loyalty, coming of age, and finding forgiveness. The man that Paco started out as, is not who he grew up to be, which was inspirational in a way. It just shows that just because your life starts off bad that doesn't always mean that you can't change who you are, and become something more than just a common street thug. This movie shows you that family is family, and no matter what your family does it's never too late to forgive them and start over. However, I do have 2 pet peeves about this movie. First of all, in my opinion, the movie was entirely too long. Secondly, Miklo didn't learn a damn thing. It's sad that even though he lost a limb he never changed his mentality or his ways, and he ultimately ended up the way he started out. There was no growth with his character period. At least the 2 brothers finally grew up, and became the men they were suppose to be. I guess that just goes to show that some people get it, and some people don't. Overall, I don't think this movie was perfect, but if you give it a chance it is pretty good. Certainly, better than what I was expecting to begin with.
Rating:  - HAVEN'T FINISHED WATCHING IT.
THIS MOVIE WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. NOT A CLASSIC BUT IT'S OKAY. THE TITLE IS HOTTER THEN THE MOVIE. LOL
Rating: - one of the best dvds i own
I just watched this movie again for the 20th time last week and it reminded me why I watched it the other 19 times... it's just that good.
If you like watching movies about street gangs, drugs, prison, and how lives are affected from one or the combination of them, this movie's for you.
