Though I actually loved the movie, the hispanic gang did seem to me rather broadly played, without the kind of dimension the rest of the film displayed. The actress playing this character played it all to the hilt and was obviously a favorite with the director and everyone else - she gets the screen time when we follow that gang. But to follow in a way this line of thought, I did think these sections were the weakest in the film.

I don't see it as inaccurate in any way; watch 'Cops' and you'll see this same juvenile attitude all the time.
If you take some ghetto trash who has the same education & maturity level as a pre-teen, give them a gun, tell them they are important and that their sole mission in life is to defend a tiny sliver of a $hi!!y@ss neighborhood, you are going to end up with someone pretty damn annoying.

Yeah, that was some bad acting by the gangsters. Also, Big Evil's cholo accent came and went. LOL! They couldn't afford the go-to Cholo in Hollywood? Noel Gugliemi!! http://www.imdb.com/board/20346595/

Critics of this actress's portrayal of this character absolutely do not understand the character she portrayed.
.
You need to crawl out of your whitebread lives and explore how that kind of world works. For one thing, forget all the college Chicano Studies BS glorification of hispanic culture and check out the true underworld hispanic culture operating in the Mexican cartels. Go to http://www.bestgore.com/beheading/four-women-la-guera-loca-beheading-dismemberment-los-zetas-mexico/ . You will see four female hispanic cartel members decapitated and dismembered. One of them is La Guera Loca, the Crazy Blonde, who herself can be seen in a linked video decapitate a member of a rival cartel and then cut the face off of the decapitated head. It is truly stomach-wrenching to see. Mexican cartel chicks are hardly paragons of sugar and spice and everything nice.
.
Afterwards, you will be criticising "the mexican chick" for playing her role with too much sensitivity and restraint. -

Not sure which "Mexican chick" you are talking about but if you are talking about La La (Yahira Flakiss Garcia), not only did I think her acting, mannerisms, ETC., were absolutely spot on, but I thought who ever cast her made a great decision to go with her when she was on-screen, I had a hard time keeping my eyes off of her.
Btw- this was, at least according to IMDB, her first film! 10/10 -

the character was disgusting. (NOT the actress, I had nothing against the Actress)
I knew the actress was just playing a role, And I've never been to Cali, So if people are saying she was spot on, then that's cool. I guess she did a really great job.
But I couldn't stand the character. too cheesy, too loud, just really gross, it made me cringe when I saw her on screen, I was just really really glad she was not on screen too much
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them. -

I thought all of the Mexican gangsters were kind of bad. Like, their reactions seemed like when extras are told to react to what's around them, but they didn't exactly know what to do. That was my issue. Not that anything they said was actually unrealistic, just the portrayal of it came off a little fake.

you mean the girl with the baby who was angry because the cops chose to go into her apartment building possibly risking her baby? yeah, really annoying. just stfu, hide behind a hard cover. but it's possible a realistic portrayal. people become beep idiots under stress.
