This is a decently made film about the beginnings of the Mexican mafia that is based on a true story but takes a number of liberties with its source material. Some aspects aren't completely fleshed out either and I don't think you get the enormity of the mafia once Montoya is on the outside. It's never boring and features some noteworthy scenes, but at times I couldn't get past the characters ending every sentence with "esé" or "homes". It just got annoying. I also feel some of the actors were trying too hard, including with their Latino accents. William Forsythe being one of the main culprits.
