Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
It knows these worlds. The language, the clothes, the attitudes, are all shown with the understated conviction of a director who is sure of his material.

...Earnest, unrelenting....AMERICAN ME packs a considerable wallop...
Los Angeles Times
Throughout, Olmos dominates the film with an impassive, yet inwardly tormented performance as he wears the implacable mask of power.

Rating: C+ --
The film's intent to serve as a cautionary tale is admirable, but Olmos acts better than he directs, and the film is shapeless and disjointed. .

Product Description:
A Latino crime lord creates a position of power for himself and his comrades in prison that extends to the streets of east Los Angeles. At first, he is elated by the control he wields but as maturity and a blossoming relationship affect his consciousness, he realizes that his desire for social change is mired in his own cult of violence. Based on a true story.
