Two brothers, one badge, one gang — Thanksgiving dinner is gonna be awkward.
Colors, corruption and turf wars control the violent city streets of L.A. where crime pays and gangs have the ultimate power. An innocent girl is accidentally killed in a drive-by shooting in the East Side Projects and the word is out, the city wants action and the clues point to the notorious "High Rollers" gang of the barrio. The cops are closing in, and the Gang is ready. Two brothers, one a gang leader, one a cop, must face off, but only one will survive!
Practical Effects
Explosive low-budget action sequences that punch above their weight.
Acting
Ron Odriozola commits to the brother-vs-brother melodrama with surprising sincerity.
Director
Lindsay Norgard
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Lindsay Norgard never directed another feature after this, making Homeboys a fascinating one-and-done time capsule of early '90s direct-to-video action.
Released two years after Colors and Boyz n the Hood, this film attempts to ride the wave of mainstream gangster cinema but with roughly 1/100th the budget and none of the studio polish.
