Found this on apple온라인카지노추천 after seeing Christopher Zalla's most recent movie Radical. Whoah. I guess you see some similarities, in terms of really good filmmaking and incredibly visceral atmosphere and rendering of worlds, but whereas Radical is heartwarming with heartbreak, this movie is just ruthless...and kind of amazing. I mean they are both deeply humanistic, but in this one, it's the DARK SIDE of human need and longing, while Radical almost the opposite. With Radical I was chock full of deeply felt emotions, and with Sangre de Mi Sangre I was on the edge of my seat...I mean I could barely deal with the ANXIETY. And oh wow what twists and turns and then POW, it absolutely knocks you off your feet. I guess one thing both movies have in common is that the leave you with a feeling like you just lived through something, and there's a worldview that doesn't shy away from the brutal realities of our world, and especially its harsh social economic truths. But this movie was actually a thriller of the highest order. Like Radical, it seems that Zalla is using genre to turn convention on its head. I literally can't believe I'm only discovering him now! I can't believe that this won Sundance in 2007 and I never heard of it. Whatever is next for Zalla, I'll be buying a ticket opening weekend to see it.

This is a fast paced movie with an excellent plot and good characters, never boring, never cheesy and thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. It is a little sad but this makes it a movie that would stay with you until the end. So for this being one great film and having a great Mexican cast and great performances by all, I give " Sangre De Mi Sangre " a B-.

"Sangre de mi sangre" is so open-ended and it leaves so many questions unanswered that anyone who watches it is guaranteed to feel unsatisfied after it's over. It might have been quite a cinematic achievement if its screenplay wasn't so uncompromising and frustrating and ambiguous, but it isn't. However, what does make it a somewhat rewarding experience are the performances from Jesus Ochoa, Armando Hernandez, Paola Mendoza and Jorge Adrian Espindola, all of whom I am unfamiliar with. Writer/director Christopher Zalla doesn't paint a pretty picture of New York or the human race with his gritty, grimy depiction of the city and its inhabitants. "Sangre de mi sangre" is a maddening film because of how it refuses to give us what we want, but I can't dismiss it as just another indie effort.

The story is so over the top that it almost makes Crash seem believable. But the characters are so intriguing and the performances so strong that I'm willing to forgive the melodrama.

After his identity is stolen, a Mexican immigrant struggles to find his long-lost father. Telling a story from the perspective of Mexican immigrants and the harsh realities they face making a life, working illegally in the U.S., makes for a strong concept. The politics of the story are just as compelling as the remarkable performances by all four of the lead actors. Jorge Adrian Espindola, especially, brings a vulnerability to a character who essentially serves as the film's villain, and Jesus Ochoa's turn as Diego is almost inspiring. The film's conclusion is doubtlessly unsatisfying. Most of the film built up a powder keg, but the failure of all the stories colliding made the conclusion fizzle. Overall, director Christopher Zalla pulled together two acts of very good filmmaking with excellent performances carrying the weight.

not that interesting. over rated by an eccentric american audience I assume. Mexican film has much better offerings, and hollywood even turns out better shite than this.

beyond my expectation

Very emotional and at some times heartbreaking movie.

This movie is good. Simply put its written in the tradition of a greek tragedy format. If you like happy endings then stay away from this one. But if you like literary theory in its purest form then watch this, I think you will enjoy it.

It was an interesting watch.

This one is going to rock you like a hurricane. I just sat there, staring at the screen, not to say - glued to the screen. Feeling of hatred and helplessness kept flashing through my head. A brilliant movie.

i dont know if i should deem this as a tragedy but its thoroughly enjoyable...i would have appreciated if the ending was a little more uplifting...good job by paola...she captured the attention from beginning to end

not sure if it deserves the attention it got from sundance, but zalla is a capable director and it'll be interesting to see where he goes from this. my fave character was the crack whore.

some may not like the ending, but i did. and overall i found this to be an enjoyable first effort from director christopher zalla...... date viewed: 9/27/10

Painful story of a boy named Pedro who wanders to see his dad. He believes that his dad was rich who owned a restaurant. But unfortunately his identity was stolen by a boy named Juan cause he told his story about his dad.. Along the journey he met Magda. Magda help him in finding his dad. Diego. Father of Pedro, met Juan and love him as his son. The catch: ridiculous that the protagonist of the film which is Pedro the real son of Diego lived a rough life while the Juan was given lots of money by Diego that was supposed to be given by Pedro. Quite hard to tell the scenes in this film.

It would have been less depressing if everyone had died at the beginning.

Actually, it was much better than what I was expecting. The plot and the characters were very good. The dialogues were ok. I just did not like the ending very much. i wanted to see what happened to the girl and the old guy.

This film filled me with disappointment mainly becasue the story in gerenal had a very depressing and dark tone to it. There was no real hero/heroine, no redemdtion for the those who were wronged and no real closure to the lives of the characters. The story is about a young immigrant who sneaks himself into New York with the hopes of finding his father. Unfortuanly he arrives there with no money and no possessions as his belongings were stolen by another immigrant who planned to pose as the young man and claim whatever riches his father may have. The film moves from on disheartening event to another and there is no way you can walk away from this film feeling good.

This is a great story and has a quite an ending that may take some by surprise. It does get a little confusing at times, but overall it's a good rental. Worth watching.
