This DVD is coming out in 20 years, but I'll wait. It's the best Dominican movie I've seen.

For a first time director i think this is a great film. I researched it because it was done on such a low budget and i am a struggling director myself. Mr. Pena does a great job at protraying the reality of dominican culture in washington hieghts and the bronx. i give this film 5 stars.

If you lived in the Heights in the late 80's early 90's this movie will bring back many memories. Very entertaining, if your from the Heights you will get this movie anybody else would be lost, just look at the negative reviews and where they're from.

Comment about the movie "The Vicious Circle" (El Circulo Vicioso) 2003 written and directed by Nelson Peña.

It's the first dominican movie that covers a reality of the dominicans from a very serious point of view. After listening the commentaries by the most highly positioned dominican movie critics, Armando Almanzar and Arturo Rodriguez, I decide to buy this movie, and though it's not in DVD format, but VHS, I bought it, watched, and enjoyed fully.

This is a magnificent approach to the reality of a segment of the Dominican Republic citizens that without any resources decide to go to the United States, and try to conquer a piece of the American Dream, but in a sick way taking the easiest and quickly road to it, selling drugs, and if they need killing other human beings.

It's the best dominican movie so far. It's the only one that treats the characters from a serious point of view.

Alot of bad acting, but the movie was entertaining as hell.

I am a Dominican American, and I have to admit this movie sucks. The acting is terrible, and the movie is absolutely not realistic. I would love to see Dominican movies succeed, but this movie is definately not going to get us there. Embarassment.

este dvd es aburrido, y es narrado.
