Full Plot Details

After the gangsters who killed his father come to settle a score, a teenage boy and his mother turn the tables on the killers - one Latino family's quest for honor and revenge as the hunted become the hunters. Wilson DeLeon, Jr. is an exceptional college student with an adoring girlfriend, doting mother and a future full of promise. He has never wanted for anything, and he has never been forced to stand his ground. But when ghosts from his mother's past come back to haunt his present, he must defend his family ... and quickly turn into the strong man his father prayed he'd become. Nothing could stop Wilson's mother, Millie, from protecting her two boys. Forced to flee her home after gangsters killed her husband, she made an oath to give her children only the best. But all that changes when an enemy from the past catches up with them. It's finally time to take action - and now, they're done running. Weapons at the ready, Wilson, Jr. and Millie prepare for a final showdown with the murderer who robbed him of a father and her of a husband. Now, in a battle fueled by family ties and blood feuds, it will become very clear what happens when anyone tries to come between this son and his mother.

Movie Reviews

Film Blather - 9/10 by Eugene NovikovIllegal Tender isn't a very good film, but it shows a genre filmmaker who is full of ideas and unwilling to settle.
Fresno Bee - 8/10 by Donald MunroA mix of cinematic thrills and sagging melodrama.
Sun Publications (Chicago, IL) - 8/10 by Josh LarsenWanda De Jesus' Pam Grier-worthy performance is the life force of the film. She's like a domestic Foxy Brown.
Variety - 7/10 by Joe LeydonToo muted to have much lasting impact, and remains modestly diverting only on a scene-to-scene basis. There's no quotable dialogue, no standout action sequence, no flashy supporting performances -- in short, nothing to lift Illegal Tender from the level of competent but inconsequential B-movie.
Associated Press - 6/10 by Christy LemireIt's helpful if you walk in with the expectation that it is a genre picture -- not a parody, not camp, but a loving homage to gangster movies of the 1980s like Scarface.
Movie Mom - 6/10 by Nell MinowIt is fun to see Wanda de Jesus get all Pam Grier and shoot off two big guns at once after making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for her son. But the big dumb story and the big dumb dialogue keep getting in the way.
Metromix.com - 6/10 by Matt PaisCredit Illegal Tender for actually taking time to tell a story, though the lack of momentum sometimes makes the movie feel like a two-hour slow motion sequence.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Ed GonzalezA problematic but compelling exaltation of violence, privilege, and ethnic pride, Illegal Tender is incessantly but hotly scored, suggesting something of a Sirk melodrama for our Reggaeton times.
Miami Herald - 6/10 by Peter DebrugeIllegal Tender is the sort of crime movie in which nothing, not one detail, has been observed from real life; it's composed entirely of fantasies and falsehoods lifted from bad movies and hip-hop videos.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertAs it is, Illegal Tender works as a melodrama, and it benefits enormously from the performance of Wanda DeJesus.
