I saw this movie and it is the best movie I've seen in the last 10 years,i think it is better than scarface the godfather and goodfellas put together.I can't believe the job that Damian Chapa did on this film ,his acting was of the charts,and his writing and directing were outstanding.I rate this as one of my top 1 films,lol.The actors were outstanding Jennifer Tilly especially was great her accent and her character had me on a string.I cant wait for a sequel of El Padrino and I hope there is one.This was a Oscar caliber movie with Oscar caliber actors. 2 thumbs up.period
