I thought the best thing about him was his facial expressions after saying all of those lines mentioned in this topic. He just had a stupid look to his face and it was hilarious.
But my favorite line of his was
Luis: I'm in the syssstem?
TI (Points at him): You're the in the system.
Luis: the system. -

I didn't care for him in Shooter or End of Watch but those were both more because of his character, rather than him. He was hilarious in this.
I watched this on TV immediately after Avengers 2 (which I'd already seen), and enjoyed it immensely more. Why? Because it's goofy and it knows it. Avengers, and most other Marvel movies take themselves too seriously, but then awkwardly cram in lame, unfunny one-liners at literally a rate of at least 2 per minute. -

That, and the fact that Luis really,
really
wants to be a stereotypical Latino "gangsta". But then he makes fantastic waffles, goes to wine tastings, art exhibits and comes up with the idea of playing a character who has the habit of whistling, during the heist.
Luis is just so
cool
.
It was so facepalm-worthy when El Mayimbe put the character down for being a stereotype Latino gangsta. Talk about not understanding a character.

Actually, it's HELLA BAY, to go wine tasting (being within an hour proximity to Sonoma & Napa). It also looked like their apartment was in the Tenderloin so definitely close to downtown; walking distance to the Symphony and a 10 min bus ride to catch those art exhibits. Lol!!
