Blood In, Blood Out (Bound by Honor) 1993, R)
geart story about the life of 3 chicano hoodlum,one being send to prison where he have to learn how to survive & learn the hard way coz of the color of his skin,where the chicano in the joint felt tat he was white,the other one became a junkie due to a gang fight which he turn to morphine to heal the pain &the other whom was tough & a rebel kid turn to be a cop..it's atrue story which is happening in L.A & san quentin prison.most of the actor is not well known accept benjamin bratt....Theres only 9 real actors while they shooting the prison scene & the rest of it is real inmate....Even though i find the movie facinating & really tells us more about the street gang & the prison life back then...most recommedable for those who love movies about gangs & action........ |
