What it’s about. Straight from the Reißbrett, und zwar dem für Homeboys auf dem zweiten Bildungsweg (Bühne oder Sport), stammt dieser für solche Verhältnisse dann aber sehr unterhaltsame und glanzvoll aufpolierte B-Actionthriller in der Tradition von “Scarface” und “8 Mile”. Ein im sogenannten Reggaeton angesagter Popstar namens Daddy Yankee mimt glaubhaft den Helden und lässt es vor überzeugend wirkenden karibischen Wohnprojektkulissen an explosiven Actionszenen nicht fehlen. Lichte, farbenfrohe Inszenierung an spannender Geschichte, gute Sache für Fans.
