Eastside (2000)

COOL MOVIE !

I found it an enjoyable movie. Mario Lopez is the star that really makes it cool. He turns in a classy performance the likes of which have made him the star he is today. But in saying that he has some good co-stars as well.
It's not for everyone,but for mature audiences I'd recommend it ! June 4, 2008

Eastside

This movie is horrible and the DVD cover/summary completely misleads the viewer. It is not about an East LA gang - Mario never holds a gun in the entire movie (unlike the cover photo) - and it is not an action film. Mario plays a scrappy punk just out of prison who helps save a children's community center from being sold off and developed. He teaches a one-armed kid to play badminton! Don't be fooled by these other reviews - I actually saw it and laughed at how bad it is! August 18, 2004

Mario Lopez Amazing!

I think this movie always remind me about the story of my brother's life. Mario Lopez did a good acting and I really liked him as an actor especially all those movie that he made for the past like the story of Greg Louganis a former Olympic Medalist. Buy this movie i will recommended as FIVE STAR! July 21, 2001

Mario's Big Break

This is a surprisingly thoughtful movie about a flawed, but decent young man torn between the life of easy money and upward mobility that a mob boss offers him or staying true to the impoverished community where he came from. Mario Lopez gives a very well-acted performance in what should be a star-making role for him. He also demonstrates the kind of charisma and physical presence to be an action hero in feature films. Hollywood producers should take note. May 1, 2001

Great Story and acting...

This movie rocks! Mario - you are ready now for big time superstar hero status. Mr Ravi Chopra's story is very original and very inspiring. Great movie. March 22, 2001
