i have watch this movie over and over since it first come out . i be fifteen and even then and i know it be cheesy . it have such great potential and i constantly rewrite the script in my head . the capoeira ruin what could have be a good drama . i love the fact that it be shoot on location . too bad that the character be underdeveloped . it like they write a first draft of a script then make the movie right away . at fifteen i could have write a good script . some scene and dialog seem to come out of nowhere and you be leave with a lot of unanswered question . and be it just me and or do it seem like lobo be sexually attract to his cousin . elena grow into some kind of woman . and the way he be always touch her . would have an interesting plot twist and elena work for her drug deal cousin who be also a perv . too bad they miss the mark on this one .
