A Bratt Family project, set in their native Mission District in San Francisco, written and directed by Peter Bratt and starring his better-known brother Benjamin as a recovering alcoholic ex-con, a leisure-time lowrider and full-time macho man, unable to accept that his straight-A son isn’t straight: “From now on, you’re fucking dead to me.” A forceful performance despite the stereotypical, predictable, exasperating nature of the character, and despite the teacherly, preacherly dramatization. With Jeremy Ray Valdez, Erika Alexander, and, the star’s wife, Talisa Soto Bratt. (2010) — Duncan Shepherd
