The story of a young, lightning fast Latino boxer who must navigate the path between his newfound fame, with all its seductive trappings, and his humble yet proud roots growing up on the hardscrabble, mean streets of Jackson Heights, Queens. Surrounded by his childhood friends and an old school trainer, Lex Vargas endures a devastating personal loss before turning professional, eventually signing with a high-profile promoter in order to accelerate his career and get a title shot.

This movie isn’t badly filmed or acted, nor is the screenplay the worst ever. It’s just that it’s terribly mediocre, with nothing new or original; just the same thing we have seen a hundred times before. Obviously this is a project close to John Leguizamo’s heart (judging by the fact that he is credited as director, producer and screenwriter, and plays the main role) and something that was well-handled, but, to tell the truth, it seems to me to be an utterly superfluous movie.
