Editorial Reviews

Hector Villa (Kuno Becker), a scrappy migrant farmworker by day and part-time prizefighter by night, struggles to reach for a better life for himself and his ailing mother. But when Hector discovers their rich rancher boss has slashed his mother’s pay, he pays the ultimate price for brawling with the boss’ thugs – a one-way ticket back over the Mexican border. Beaten up, broke and jobless, Hector joins forces with an old-school trainer and sets his sights on the rancher’s boxer son for the ultimate David-and-Goliath face-off in this adrenaline- pumping drama from stunt coordinator-turned-director Jimmy Nickerson (ROCKY, RAGING BULL, FIGHT CLUB).

This review is from: From Mexico With Love (DVD)

ONCE IN A WHILE A DOWN TO EARTH,FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF SMALL MOVIE WITH BIG DREAMS COMES ALONG AND REMINDS YOU WHAT A QUALITY FILM IS. YOU APPRECIATE ALL ITS FINE DETAILS AND ATTENTION TO CHARACTERIZATION AND THAT BRINGS YOU TO FROM MEXICO WITH LOVE. YOU SENSE THAT YOU ARE INSIDE THE FILM ITSELF. IT ALL LOOKS SO SIMPLE AND TRUE TO LIFE. THE LEADS ARE GOOD BUT THE SUPPORTING CAST ARE A PLEASURE TO WATCH AND LISTEN TOO. YOU TAKE A FILM LIKE AVATAR WITH ITS LANG ACTOR AND YOU FIND IT HERE IN THE DAD/RANCHER PATRON OF THE TOWN. MEANER THAN A JUNKYARD DOG AND A CHARACTER YOU LOVE TO HATE. OF COURSE THE TRAINER TO THE YOUNG UNDERDOG BOXER IS A CLASSIC ROCKY TYPE GUY. WITHOUT SPILLING TOO MUCH MORE OF THE STORY, GO BUY IT IF YOU WANT A SPIRITED DOWN TO THE BONE TALE OF DREAMS, DEFEAT AND FINAL REDEMPTION. ITS THAT GOOD.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good, by the numbers "B" movie, August 15, 2010

This review is from: From Mexico With Love (DVD)

Year ago, boxing movies came in all shapes and sizes: Classics like "Champion", "Body & Soul" and "Golden Boy" had well written scripts, big name stars and a decent enough budget to tell a story of corruption or conquering adversity while the fighter always got the "right" girl at the end of the movie.

Then there were boxing's "B" movies which had a moral to them, a shoestring budget, some comic relief and then the big boxing scene at the end. Movies like "Ringside Maisie" and the "Prizefighter And The Lady" even had then heavyweight champion Max Baer!!!

A movie such as "From Mexico With Love" tells a story of a young man who deals with the narrowmindedness of a Texas ranch owner and his schooled fighter of a son.

From "From Mexico With Love" is as much a movie about a people who are proud but suffer at the hands of their employer and the pride, will and determination to pin their hopes on one young man out to beat the odds.

If you are a boxing fan and enjoy movies about boxing, there is enough story and plot line to keep your interest for the 96 or so minutes that the film uses to tell it's story.

Good action sequences, decent acting from a young cast and a few old timers including Bruce McGill and Steven Bauer make this a movie worth watching.

While not in the league of recent films such as "Cinderella Man", "Raging Bull" and "Rocky", this movie can hold it's own as that second or "B" movie if you decide to spend an evening watching boxing films.

Don't forget to have some popcorn handy!!!!!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Blaxploitation II, April 18, 2010

This film does deserve credit for the outstanding performances done but it's cast most of whom are newcomers. The film sadly in many ways is a modern day latino incantation of the Blaxploitation genre of film of the 1970's. Noble and heroic latino/hispanic people unite and trimumph over the evil anglo/white people. The film is loaded with false stereotypes many young and often uneducated urban latinos have of anglo whites. Given the current climate in the country over immigration I would not show this film to young people if I were a parent of any race or ethnicity.
