Review of Illegal Tender (2007) by Jim K — 29 Aug 2007
I enjoy Rick Gonzalez and believe he has a bright future as a leading man not too far away; and I liked Wanda De Jesus in "CSI:Miami" and the trailer made this film look good so all good ingredidents to make a good flick, right? Well, kinda.
The movie just seemed so plain and nothing special. It felt just another gangster genre pic that people felt would be good if it was a different race and include a strong mother character that would do anything for her family (including killing numerous armed men).
But I felt De Jesus overacted in about half the scenes she was in and the script just was lazy. While not being terrible (Gonzalez was strong) it's just not worth remembering.
