"The film coasts on famed salsa legend Hector Lavoe's music and Anthony's impassioned performance, but it makes way to many concessions to the Ray mode of biopic storytelling." - Ed Gonzalez

Lopez, Anthony and Ichaso seize the opportunity to make Hollywood's first NuYorican epic.

Well-intentioned biopic unfortunately lacks any true insight into either of its main characters, seeming content to present the gradual, corrosive decline of themselves and their relationship as a simple record of events, diluting the power of the performances of Anthony and a superb Lopez. Attractively shot, and Anthony and Lopez work well together, but this is ultimately a seedy, overly familiar telling of material common to any number of similar biopics.
