Featured review
lots of suspense in this little boiler
Jose (Roger Mobley) and his sister move down to mexico so she can work... later on, we find out that they have really moved so that social services can't take the little brother away. Jose meets up with a local boy Chuy (Rafael López), who shows him the ropes and how to survive. Chuy and his gang snitch money from the church box to bet on the races, and they hit it BIG! but now the problem is how to collect the money, since they are minors! a gritty look at life in mexico (supposedly), where the kids sell stuff on the streets to survive. Directed by Boris Sagal, who seems to have done mostly TV series. Sadly, he died quite young of a nasty helicopter accident. unusual film... you just want to see how it will end. only 98 votes on imdb as of today. they must not show this one very often. it's okay.
