The Street King - DVD September 3, 2009 Matti Kniva Spencer Another great Mario Lopez movie. A lot of action and violence. Not for the squeamish! Recommended... has good performances by the entire cast.
Complex Plot June 26, 2009 H. Leatherwood (TN) This is a really interesting movie, but the plot is very complex...yeah, twisted. It plays better the third time through.

JUST A GANGSTA FLICK THAT HAPPENS TO HAVE A SHAKESPEARE PLOT April 7, 2004 MICHAEL TAYLOR (RICHMOND, VA USA) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
A YOUNG LATINO THUG [JON SEDA] BETRAYS HIS OWN BROTHERS ONE BY ONE SO THAT HE CAN CONTROL THE STREETS OF LA. THE ACTING IS OK, BUT, THE PLOT IS MEDIOCRE AND THE MOVIE'S JUST NOT ALWAYS ON TARGET. I THINK THIS MOVIE IS BETTER THAN MOST OF THE GANGSTA MOVIES THAT'RE CURRENTLY AT THE VIDEO STORES RIGHT NOW, BUT, THIS MOVIE NEEDS SOME SERIOUS WORK. THAT'S RIGHT, THIS MOVIE ACTUALLY IS AN URBAN REWORKING OF ''RICHARD III'', THE CLAASIC SHAKESPEARE STORY. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, RENT IT. BUT DON'T BUY IT.
A lot of fun to watch February 19, 2004 Sid Kaskey (south miami, fl United States) 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is one for the English teachers out there. The film takes a Shakespeare play [Richard III] and adapts it to a contemporary setting. Anyone who loves Shakespeare will enjoy watching how the plot line is used here. The actors all seem to be relishing their over the top perfomances...but isn't that one of the charms of the original character? I think yes. Buy this one, show it to your students, and discuss how Shakespeare borrowed from other sources.
