It has been 27 years since Blood In Blood Out (also known as Bound by Honor) was released.

Castillo, who played the leader of “La Onda” commanded loyalty of the Mexican prisoners in San Quentin, until his own protege, Miklo turned on him. Vincent Canby singled out Castillo’s performance when he wrote his review in the The New York Times, exalting some of the characters in the film in particular, Castillo.
