El Chicano Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
David Ehrlich
Ben Hernandez Bray's "El Chicano" seldom amounts to anything more than a crude prototype for the kind of Latinx-driven superhero movies that Marvel and DC should already be making by now.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
[El Chicano] functions most effectively when it explores the dangers of moral ambiguity.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
There's a need for a Latino superhero film. "El Chicano" is not it.
AV Club
Vikram Murthi
It's dull and banal, coasting on familiarity from beginning to end. Here, the clichés don't celebrate a reunion. They're at war.
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
Frenzied, ferocious avenger drama, filled with graphic violence
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The first all-Latino superhero movie is unfortunately an uninspiring B movie.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Diego... lacks any nuance as a character. He is grim and humorless, like most everything else about this film.
Austin Chronicle
Matthew Monagle
When your lead actor doesn't seem to be having any fun in an action movie, there's not much left for audiences to cling to. Genre fans will need to look elsewhere for their gunslinger fix.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Throughout, the film peddles notions of self-realization and self-actualization that feel nothing short of moth-eaten.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Claudia Puig
It does have some riveting moments and some very strong acting.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
This is a nasty, brutal little movie, more in the vein of a grindhouse revenge flick than anything else. But it's effectively done...
TheWrap
Monica Castillo
Like in this year's remake of Miss Bala, the Mexicans in this movie are the bad guys, the drug-running cartel members ruining it for the rest of us in the United States.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
The problem here isn't the fairly apparent budgetary limits - it's the limitations of style and imagination.
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
"El Chicano" stands as a solidly acted and technically accomplished spectacle, the latter likely the result of Hernandez Bray's time delivering stunt magic behind the scenes as a stunt coordinator.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
It's hard to be entertained by the spectacle of brutality when campiness is entirely absent.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Mainly a violent police procedural and vigilante drama that succeeds well enough on those terms.
The Verge
Noah Berlatsky
[Director Ben Hernandez] Bray wants the film to be another straightforward superhero empowerment narrative. But he keeps stumbling onto complicated questions he doesn't want to acknowledge or resolve.
The Ringer
Shea Serrano
El Chicano isn't that great of a movie, but it's ambitious and I am glad that it exists because it means we're walking toward more movies that star members of the Latinx community.
Escapist Magazine
Bob Chipman
That the abrupt gear-shift from Dick Wolf-style cop drama to Marvel Netflix-style superhero bloodbath in Act 3 works at all is a feat in itself.
JoBlo's Movie Network
JimmyO
This is pure old school action, and if you miss the old Stallone flicks like COBRA or Bronson movies like DEATH WISH, you're likely to groove on this.
