It has a very good story. And it was a lot of fun watching all the basketball as well. When I first popped this one in I didn't notice the case said it was based on a true story... I didn't realize it until they started to give updates on all the characters at the end of the movie. That makes the movie that much more enjoyable. I thought Samuel L. Jackson was wonderful in the title role. If you haven't seen this one yet... I would recommend checking it out. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From Weekend Movie Marathon: Unwatched DVDs on August 8th, 2010) My PILOT Marathon, a review by RichKingpin Pilot As the family leader Tio Jorge deteriorates in exile, the next generation of a powerful drug cartel family strategizes to take over 'La Corporacion', a multi-million dollar business. Stanford-educated Miguel Cadena is poised to take the reigns, but Jorge's son Ernesto presents a challenge that requires the efforts of Miguel as well as his brother Chato and wife Marlene to confront. Meanwhile, DEA agent Delia Flores faces setbacks as she works her contacts within the drug world to close in on the massive cartel. After the death of his drug lord uncle, Stanford-educated Mexican-American businessman (Yancey Arias) finds himself in the position of the leader of his criminal family. Throughout their dealings, he and his wife (Sheryl Lee) attempt to keep the facts of their business away from their 8-year-old son while they dodge the efforts of relentless U.S. authorities who want to take them down. Originally aired on US television, this six-part mini series, from NYPD BLUE writer/producer David Mills, received critical acclaim. Overly glitzy, Hollywood glamour taken to mexico gangsters, this felt a bit too unbelievable and the leads were much too clean and perfect. It was pretty graphic in places, the violence stronger than I anticipated, and the backdrops expensive and locations varied. Unsure whether this is a stinker or a hit, will need to view a few more of these and see how the finale from the pilot evolves. (From My PILOT Marathon on September 28th, 2009) |
