purpleleaf7 Excellent Movie. I enjoyed the end. Very symbolic because we know who Daddy Yankee is and where he is now, and it showed where he came from. It was a very strong film. I wanted to see more, and know more about his personal life. I'm glad he made this film for us to see. I felt very sorry for his family and his loss, if it is all based on a true story. I found it very upsetting and was routing for Daddy Yankee to get his revenge. I really felt that. It's an emotional story, and it left me admiring him more as an artist. I'm glad he made this film because he is one of the first(and one of the best) Reggaeton stars, and the music would not be the same without him. I'm glad he got out of that lifestyle and brought his talent to light for the world to see because even after all these years, although it hasn't been that long, he is still holding it down. His musical style, beats, and rap represent the lifestyle and you feel that it is coming from deep within his heart and soul that makes him an original that cannot be duplicated.

Oscar Chavez (oacr007) I'm a professional uploader. Who has been going crazy for the release of this movie. Not just a movie, but a great FILM. [ Coño ] It even attracted my attention since 2005. When supposibly Daddy Yankee were talking' about making a movie. Yeap - since 2005 i had been waiting for it. 2008 I had the pleasure to buy it from amazon . com. Many people were asking me " Andy where u gonna get it ? " . I was like - I DON'T KNOW.But F-I-N-A-L-L-Y I was able to watch it. AND , Oh hell CHEA !. i loved it. i WATCHED it 3 times [ 2 in Spanish and once in plain English ] . The English version is funny - the way they talked <- MAD GHETTO. Just like WE NEW YORKERS know.Now : About the movie. I give it 10/10 , 5 Stars , " Se lucio ". Daddy Yankee and Maestro. In my opinion were the main characters - of course let's not forget about the other reggaetoneros.The question you should ask yourself is: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HATTERS, who said " Daddy Yankee is not gonna make it "?

dbborroughs Daddy Yankee stars as the head of a neighborhood gang. Torn between the life and the possibility of something with a girl from outside, and being warn down by the violence that takes down gang members and innocents alike, he's not sure which way to go. Well made, well acted with a sense of place and time that's unlike almost any fiction film I've seen, this is a very good drama. The film more often then not feels like you're watching the home movies of the people involved rather then a made up story. Clearly the people who made this know of what they show and it helps a great deal. To be certain the film isn't perfect, there is a bit of the formula that you find in films like this(going all the way back to the dawn of film), but at the same time the sense of life and reality bleeds off the screen. I'm not sure that the film is as good as I feel it maybe but it it is good enough to warrant a recommendation for anyone who wants to see what Inde-film should be.

brivi77 I saw the movie last night & I was completely blown away. DY's performance was great as well for the rest of the cast however for me that stole the show was Maestro {Jeico}. A man who is willing to take out his childhood friend to gain control of the barrio that DY ran. 2 major bichote's running different parts of Valle Verde & Jeico wants it all ... first he gets rid of El Domi along with his crew ... that is one bichote down now the next is Wichy {Edgar's best friend; almost blood brother; At this point Dinero left the drug world to continue his career as a rapero), which Edgar left the business to Wichy and Jeico, but with greed, Jeico kills Wichy.. He rapes and brutally beats Nata {Edgar's sister}due to her denying him constantly at the end when she finally had enough of being his "amigita" & constant threats of killing her brother.What I liked about Edgar {DY's character} even though he's a drug dealer he cares for his community .. for example; Edgar & his gang are at the corner waiting for man {I forgot his name} as soon as the man gets out of the car with his wife, he and his gang begin to beat him .. during the beating Edgar screams at him saying "you enjoy raping young girls etc" Its a bit violent and the beating is not necessary but here it shows that even though Edgar is a drug dealer he doesn't tolerate that in his Barrio. Edgar had mad luv for his crew as well, especially Wichy.. he was like a blood brother to him, growing up together en el barrio juntos.Maestro performance was so great it made me so mad that I wanted to give him a tiro .. He was just completely wicked and didn't care who got in his way .. up to the point where he would kill his own men if they ever talked or heard music from Edgar. Maestro got the sadistic killer to the point ... playing both sides of the field gaining each sides trust only to attack to gain control of the Barrio.Many probably won't enjoy it but what I really enjoyed about the movie is that you get to see what people don't want to see ... reality of the barrio. I've been to places like that and I give them snaps for toughing it out in those areas its not easy but they struggle to give a good life to their kids when they can't afford it. I would watch it again ... and I will.
