It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I am a native of Northern New Mexico and I am familiar with the writers, actors and extras in this movie, so I really wanted to like it. My rating of this movie is a 3, because I really didn't get drawn in like I would have liked to. The story line was confusing as to what exactly happened to make Whitey do the things he was doing and I was never really convinced what role his family played (drug dealing was the assumption). The writers stayed as true to their roots of Northern NM as they could, but I believe this was to their detriment because the targeted demographic seemed to be too focused on the filming location. The technical production of this movie was good and the main actors were good as well, but I was just let down by the overall flow in how the story was written. I think Diego is onto something and is a talented artist, and I just hope he doesn't give up on his new craft of movie making.Worth watching, but was hoping for more from the writers.

BLAZE YOU OUT is a handsome first feature by directors Mateo Frazier and Diego Joaquin Lopez and their talented cast and crew. Set in northern New Mexico, the film is a masterful tapestry of stunning landscapes and human drama. Life would be normal in this Latino and Native American town except for the evil - a cunning drug-dealing matriarch (Elizabeth Pena) and her seductively twisted son, Whitey (brilliantly portrayed by Mark Adair-Rios). But they go too far when Whitey doggedly pursues Alicia (Melissa Cordero), a witness to one of his murders. With ferocious determination, Alicia's sister, Lupe (portrayed by the talented Veronica Diaz-Carranza) recruits her friends who invoke their own courage and mystical forces to save themselves and their cultures from extinction. Superb cinematography and editing, visually rich lighting -- huge production value. Well done.

It looks like an attempt to create something like "american me". If so, it didn't work out at all.Although the image itself is not too bad, the plot of this movie is really poor. If it was for me I would not go through all the hassle to produce the movie at all and wait for a better story to start with. Further the acting of namely the macho characters in the movie is overdone and not credible and therefore quite annoying to watch.The movie might be worth watching for a select group of people like the crew itself, it's family and friends, but further I cannot imagine that someone gets a good kick out of it. I rate every movie I watch and rarely rate something 3 stars, I gave this movie 3 stars.

Alright, so my friend brought this movie over and I thought, a sister fighting to save her younger sister against the heroin mafia. Hell, sounds good. But I never knew that "fighting" against the mafia meant going around to different people and asking them if they have seen her sister. So in short, there is this gangster named Whitey who goes around killing people who apparently took some money that belonged to him and his mother. He kills a guy who was with the sister of the heroine, the sister goes into hiding, blah blah blah, the guy goes around asking people if anyone has seen her. The heroine goes around asking people if anyone has seen her sister. That's it. Apparently the underworld consists of one guy and his mom according to this movie. Spanish is spoken liberally throughout the movie so if you have no idea about the language or have no subtitles, don't bother. Why this movie is categorized under action is beyond me..
