Nonureva Really Surprised!
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
epicsaga DANG IT, I was NOT expecting to like this movie so much !!! I was expecting a car film (as Fast and Furious) and a wild crazy ride. Instead I got an incredible, (relatable) performance by every family member, education on the Lowrider culture and knowledge about the Hispanic pride and history behind it, and how we ALL must not lose our heritage (I could seriously put my Polish genetic history in here).....it is a film with MANY LEVELS that you simply MUST watch. You know how some films keep you thinking about the characters and their lives after you watch it???? THIS is DEFINEITELY ONE OF THOSE FILMS !!
trashgang Normally I wouldn't watch this flick because it's really about the lowrider culture famous with the South American people living in the USA. Not that the culture is bad but is really is filmed in their language but what tricked me is that Eva Longoria and Melissa Benoist are in it, famous from Desperate Housewives and Supergirl. Eva is recognizable but Melissa is harder to recognize. So I picked it up and I must say that it really is a good flick, a bit cliché here and there, you know son being prisoned and the father ignoring him and it all explains itself throughout this flick but ion the other hand the cars shown, and there are a lot, are a must see.So if you dig muscle cars rebuild into lowriders then this is a must see. Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 0/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
adonis98-743-186503 A young street artist in East Los Angeles is caught between his father's obsession with lowrider car culture, his ex-felon brother and his need for self-expression. Lowriders is a film that i wanted to check out for some time now and mostly because of Melissa Benoist and honestly it did not disappoint, of course the film didn't go out without people criticizing it, it currently sits on a 55% on Rotten Tomatoes with a 67% on the Audience Score and a 5.7/10 here on IMDb and i highly disagree this isn't some kind of "Fast and the Furious" movie you won't see ridiculous car chase sequences or the Rock doing a spear in Vin Diesel it's not mindless fun it's actually a character study piece with some really great performances by Gabriel Chavarria (War for the Planet of the Apes), Theo Rossi (Luke Cage), Demian Bichir (Alien Covenant), Melissa Benoist (Supergirl) and Eva Longoria (Harsh Times) the entire Cast gives some pretty good performances and each of them has a vision for example Miguel wants to reunite with his sons Danny and "Ghost", Lorelai wants her art to be recognized and Gloria simply wants her family united once again. You do get to see the Lowriding world and it's cars and it's quite beautiful to say the least but you also get a pretty heavy drama about 2nd chances and fatherhood and most important about love and art. It does have it's flaws like it dragged in certain moments and i wish that things went a bit better for certain characters but overall i really enjoyed it a lot and i loved the style that it had this wasn't another car chase thriller or whatever you wanna call it it was actually a pretty decent and smart drama with some pretty good performances by a talented cast of actors. (8/10)
markunovica "Lowriders (2016)", a textbook example of a good movie ! While not tackling epic themes such as survival of humanity(since it's a drama), the story is told through it's characters as they make mistakes, learn upon them and change. We following their relationship within and outside the family while keeping it like a true lowrider movie, low and easy, totally opposite of F&F movies. Cinematography was really good, with lighting sometimes being really outstanding ! Overall I'd recommend this movie, even though it wasn't upfront like most modern car-culture-inspired movies. I'm giving it 7/10, a totally subjective opinion.
