La Mission - 4 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Interesting movie released in 2009 and runs 117 minutes,and is almost perfect.I had a little issue with the ending but all in all,very good film.I'll add a partial review from IMDB

Growing up in the Mission district of San Francisco, Che Rivera (Benjamin Bratt) has always had to be tough to survive. He's a powerful man respected throughout the Mission barrio for his masculinity and his strength, as well as for his hobby building beautiful lowrider cars. A reformed inmate and recovering alcoholic, Che has worked hard to redeem his life and do right by his pride and joy: his only son, Jes, whom he has raised on his own after the death of his wife. Che's path to redemption is tested, however, when he discovers Jes is gay. To survive his neighborhood, Che has always lived with his fists. To survive as a complete man, he'll have to embrace a side of himself he's never shown. Written by Global Cinema

Pretty accurate but the film also shows the Mission barrio in a duel light.one one hand it sucks to be poor,on the other,people with love can survive and prosper.I was moved by the film and think you will be too.Bratt is da man.The rest of the cast is ok.Trailer URL  follows the pix
