Mixed Blood

In Alphabet City, domineering Brazilian single mom Rita la Punta (Marília Pêra) rode herd on a pack of drug-dealing, contract-killing teens headed by her son Thiago (Richard Ulacia). Though brazenly starting a turf war with their Puerto Rican rivals, she might not have the firepower, or the backing of the other local criminal powers, to finish it. Gritty, darkly comic, and offbeat effort from Paul Morrissey also stars Linda Kerridge, Angel David, Geraldine Smith; look for John Leguizamo in his film debut. AKA: "Cocaine." 98 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary; featurettes; image gallery.
