From producer John Singleton (Hustle & Flow, Boyz N The Hood) and writer/director Franc Reyes (Empire) comes a story of one family's fight for survival against the backdrop of the East Coast and Puerto Rico. Wilson Deleon Jr. (Rick Gonzalez) is the son of a slain drug dealer, whose killers still have the intention of wiping out the rest of the Deleon family 20 years later. After his family's location is discovered, Wilson is thrust into a situation in which he must either leave his home and love interest, or confront his assailants while learning more about the father he never knew.
Few movies that made it to the big screen in recent years have focused on Latino characters, let alone with a complete leading cast of Latin-American actors and actresses. Illegal Tender proves that it's far from the typical straight-to-DVD fare that fans of Latino-related films are accustomed to, but it still comes off as something of a novelty that caters itself to Latin filmgoers
The film begins with a basic introduction into the life of Wilson Deleon Sr. (Manny Perez), a Bronx drug dealer and mid-level boss with enough heart to portray him as something other than a one-dimensional thug. Perez doesn't disappoint, though the "look how Puerto Rican we are" references go from valid during a bodega visit to slightly overdone by the time the family enjoys flan over discussions of "Iris Chacon" jeans. This also rings true of the gratuitous cleavage shots of Latinas counting drug money; while I can't complain about the eye candy, it comes off more as a throwback to an Univision sitcom than a featured film.
After Deleon Sr. is killed, the audience gets an update on how his wife and two sons are living in the Connecticut burbs 20 years later. Unfortunately, we're not given much backstory in the way of who Wilson DeLeon Jr. is, beyond being a top-notch student with a touch of urban flair and a sexy Dominicana on his arm (portrayed by Dania Ramirez). When his mother Millie (Wanda De Jess) is recognized by an underworld acquaintance associated with her husband's killing, flight with Wilson Jr. and his younger brother becomes imminent. Bit by bit,
Wilson is given the abbreviated version of who his family's would-be killers are as well as their motives, yet he still dwells on a puzzle which is missing some obvious pieces. Amidst shootouts with foes, his search for the truth and a means of ending the decades-old beef leads him to Puerto Rico in search of his father's history and the man responsible for his demise.
