El Chicano
LAPD Detective Diego Hernandez (Raul Castillo) assumes the persona a local legendary ghetto grim reaper, El Chicano, when his badge can’t find him justice in his latest career making case. A string of killings tied to the Mexican drug cartel forces Diego into extreme vigilante mode. Think Batman in the Barrio with the Punisher tendencies. This fairly predictable plot plods along in some spots before it gets down to the good stuff. George Lopez plays Captain Gomez, Diego’s boss. The complete cast & production crew of this film is nearly all Latin. A heavy handed hint towards a possible sequel will club you over the head at the conclusion.
Alien gives it 3 “growing up East Los” stars out of 4.
