Reviews for Boricua's Bond
Amateurish technique by first-time writer-director Val Lik undermines his lofty ambitions.
Mr. Lik was clearly aiming for the hard-hitting authenticity of the music, but his direction lacks the elusive quality of 'flow' crucial to hip-hop and movies alike.
Scenes that might have played believably in the hands of pros here are as laugh-inducing as Laurence Olivier's 'I haff no son!' scene in The Jazz Singer.
An interesting, if deeply unbalanced, combo of random shots of South Bronx street life.
The film suggests that moon 'n' maul is the standard sexual approach of Latino men to any and every woman.
