4/5 A Love Story
  by GabitaS (El Paso, TX)
I was interested in purchasing this movie due to the fact that I had seen previews at a theater and it looked quite captivating. When it was released in video, I tried renting it for 2 months and it was never available so I just assumed that it was a popular movie. I decided to purchase it and the movie was different than what I had expected. It was a love story but moreso it had a twist that was quite a realistic plot about gang life of the MS-13 El Salvadoran gang and the gang culture and about what happens when you try to leave the gang. It also depicts the illegal immigrant way of life and the dangers encompassing their escape to the U.S. The story ending was very sad, almost depressing, but it leaves the viewer with the hope and anticipating that the young lady will be able to start a new life of freedom and opportunity.

5/5 The most awesome movie of the year!

Yes, it does contain violence and some sex scenes. However,the story is so relevant, the characters so compelling, the acting so convincing, this is a story that just had to be told. The action and sex is not like hollywood, put there solely to entice, but it is fundamental to the story, part of the life these characters are undergoing. Some of my friends have reacted, 'Do you think that really happens?' Yes I do. Bit and pieces of things people have recounted to me all occur in this movie. The danger of taking the train, the bravery and determination of those who make the journey, the harshness of ganglife, the support some communities show for the travelers, the predators who prey on them, all are the real deal. Don't miss it. Everyone I have shown it to, wanted to see it again.

This was a great movie to watch. The ending could have gone more in depth but still a great movie from start to finish.

1/5 When will they ever learn???

This movie tries to glorify people who are making a choice to break the law! Enough of this already! So it's a rough trip--nobody asked them to come here. As for the Mexican bandits, why do you think we are trying to keep Mexicans OUT of USA--we know many of them are criminals!! We who were born here or are legal residents simply don't want them here! BUT Since they can't justify their greed, they always yell "racism!" Don't even waste your time watching this loser movie about losers! Better spend your money on laxatives if you are that "full of it!"
