From the producer’s chair of John Singleton comes a film that purportedly gives Latinos some much-needed representation in cinema. Indeed, the cast has many Latin faces in it, but whether diversity should excuse a motion picture from being horrid is a pretty heavy question.

Wilson Jr. and his mom are ready to deliver blazing vengeance. Does this sound like a melodramatic synopsis of a Singleton-directed movie? It should, because he has made almost his entire reputation delivering such dreck. – t. slotu
