Young gang banger Luis (Danny Gomez) leads a dangerous existence in East Los Angeles as he weaves through the daily violence and crime. Life grows even more treacherous after Luis kills a major gang member and turns to his older brother (Walter Reyes) for help. The brothers face their enemies but find themselves sinking in a quagmire of murder and intrigue. The leader of a major drug ring targets them, and soon, they're running for their lives.
Directed by Robert Arevalo, Street Playerz leans on a strong ensemble — Davis Choh, David Tsuboi, Jesus Trejo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2009.
