El padrino: The Latin Godfather (2004)

Sorry, this movie sucks

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Kilo is half white and half Mexican. His white mother tries to keep him away from the streets, but Kilo wants to follow in his drug dealing father's footsteps. Kilo's "anglo" looks make it easier for him to sell drugs at predominantly white high schools and colleges. Eventually he becomes a cocaine kingpin.This isn't the best movie I've ever seen but it's not the worst, either. The worst thing about the movie (IMO) was Jennifer Tilly as the daughter of a Colombian drug dealer. OH LORD was she bad! And not bad in a funny, entertaining way, either. It was painful to watch. Why in the name of all that is holy was she cast as a Latina?! Damian Chapa is a talented writer and director (and very easy on the eyes!). With a bigger budget (and no Tilly! :o ) this movie could have been a lot better.

Finally a gangster Movie worth watching!Jennifer Tily should get nominated for her role as tough murdering femme fatal!This Movie flies like a bird , just a fast paced non stop Gangster Mayhem!Jennifer Tily is just so beautiful and bad in this Movie.I was shocked to find Faye Dunaway still lives! The cast in this movie are so fitted to their roles. A real cool soundtrack rides along side and you get swept into the Spanish soul of this film.The story is original deep and poetic.This Flick has a lot of Substance and never rests.The gang of Spanish Fire just set everything on screen alight.Damian Chapa Is a Joy to watch and a Movie Star.Sit back and enjoy the ride.

This Film was one that I have waited to see for some time. I was glad to find it has been everything anticipated. The writing of this film has been so finely crafted and researched far beyond what is seen by the audience. I found it amusing that so many people watching will not read between some very important lines but indeed if not the movie will make sense in a different way and is very brilliant. The film has many stories and characters woven together around this one Character Kilo , a Man whom has rose from the streets amidst many woes and become a very powerful criminal. After spending some time in Prison Kilo finds a loophole in the justice system and through a disturbing turn of events is released only to find everything is not at all what it seems. Kilo Finds himself going up against the higher realm of society and Political royalty in order to make clear how important a Man's Word is and stands for. A war begins as the street is in arms against Lords of wealth and corrupt Power.A build up to explosive and powerful non stop twists and turns. This film will leave you riveted. I found the cast of this movie to be outstanding and is not a Movie to be ignored. Excellent. Go Rent It Today!!

I love Movies that take you into them. A movie that actually leaves you feeling weak when its over and this kind of movie is rare.Damian is so talented and versatile in so many ways of writing and portraying different Characters on screen. This movie has a cutting edge to it. A main stream cast for such a low budget. Why is it that a Man with this much talent and Charisma , ( not to Mention sex appeal in ways beyond most other actors ) can do this with so little money to work with????? These Actors really believe in his script and Raw talent as a Director, writer and Actor. I am so pleased to know such a modern day genius is out there , letting is passion for Art drive him and taking us as an audience with him. Damian I have heard of you through so many different circles and do not let the Jealous people of this world get to you. Martin gets this , Fellini got it and you will always get it. The fire and passion in you is what we love to watch on Screen. Thankyou for being different and having the guts to write like you do. You are a one of a kind Director, do not listen to the empty vessels.
