Product Description

From acclaimed producer John Singleton (Hustle & Flow, Four Brothers) comes an intense, action-packed thriller about a family's quest for honor and revenge. College student Wilson De Leon, Jr. (Rick Gonzalez, Coach Carter, TV's Reaper) never stood up for himself until the gangsters who killed his father came to settle a score. In a gripping, adrenaline-pumping showdown, Wilson and his mother (Wanda De Jesus, TV's CSI: Miami) decide to settle that score on their own terms in order to protect the people they love. Dania Ramirez (TV's Heroes, X-Men) and reggaeton star Tego Calderon co-star in this hard-hitting film loaded with gripping action and unbeatable suspense.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot Movie, April 12, 2008

By	M. Pettit "MP" (VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Illegal tender should have been released on the big screen. If you like it you should also view "Slow Burn". Illegal Tender is a blend on "Miami Vice" and "Heat". I watched it on OnDemand from home and was looking for the sound track when I wrote this review of the movie. Get this movie and "Slow Burn"

4.0 out of 5 stars Talk about a mothers love..., March 16, 2008

By	MOMMIE4LYFE "SMOOCHES......" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

The plot of the story is totally realistic. A mother will do what she has to do to protect her children (at all cost). Although at times the acting took a nose dive and the realism would dip (the shoot out in the middle of the day?), I enjoyed this movie. Rick Gonzalez did an excellent job with the material. I purchased Illegal Tender based soley on the fact that it was produced by John Singleton. Happy to say, I don't regret buying it.

I recommend this movie to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, January 21, 2008

By	D. Hawkins (Newark, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The movie Illegal Tender was good. The movie kept you on the edge of your seat and you didn't really know what to expect next. Great Movie. The characters were great and the mother really did everything that she could for her children.
