Movie Reviews of American Me
Movie Review: Great movie to own, 4 1/2 stars!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This definitely is one of the best movies to own!! If you haven't seen it yet, you should... If you've seen the movie "Blood In, Blood Out", then you should definitely see this one... if you haven't seen either one, then i reccommend you buying them both as a combo pack or separately (if you want to save $$)...
I don't know which one i love more out of the two, because i know i've watched each movie more then 30 times... Both movies are pretty similar to each other... but "Blood In, Blood Out" kinda focuses on the 3 brothers, and the paths each of them takes, where as "American Me" focuses on the paths of the main characters in this movie (like Santana, Puppet, Lil' Puppet, etc).. but not only does it show their lifestyles, but it also focuses on how its having an effect on their families, and how their families feel about the life that their kids are leading... "American Me" i think involves more of the family in this picture and culture (La Raza) then "Blood In, Blood Out" does... it also shows its origin, like the Pachuco's (Zoot Suit's, Zoot Suit riots).. This movie is pretty close to 5 stars in my book... To me i think it definitely is 1/2 star better then "Blood In, Blood Out"...becuase this one seems to have alot more of a story line to it, and more characters its focusing on... both in and outside the prison walls..
If you're not sure about owning it, rent it first... but i can pretty much guarantee that you'll eventually end up owning it.
Movie Review: American Me
Summary: 4 Stars
A good movie designed to let people know a little about gang life although there was a little too much fictionalization in the story. It ended up being very misleading and caused the death of several people.Movie Review: American Me

If you like prison movies, then ull luv this one as well. Its a good story as well.. Try also 'blood in blood out'. Would recomend to my friends.Movie Review: Adult movie
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband loves this movie. However, I felt as though it was extremely graphic and some parts were hard to watch.Movie Review: Very Disturbing
Summary: 3 Stars
My husband and I were disturbed for weeks by the graphic content of some scenes. Definitely not for young people. It was very scary to think gangs have so much influence and power. It does make you want to stop and do whatever necessary to prevent gang activity, especially in young people. We need to do more to educate these young victims.
