Redundant and unnecessary.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I watched this at home on BluRay from my local library. Being a white guy who grew up in the deep south, the Lowrider culture of East L.A. is pretty far from my interests, but I found that part of it very interesting.I actually looked up this movie because of Melissa Benoist who plays a young photographer and becomes the girlfriend of Danny. Benoist had a starring role in the TV series "Glee" and currently stars as Supergirl in the TV series. She is cute and a good actress, but she is mostly wasted in her role here.The father has two sons, a younger one, Danny, still at home and an older one, 'Ghost', just getting out of prison. The younger one is a budding artist but mostly painting graffiti around L.A., often having to elude police. The older was imprisoned for theft, stealing parts for his lowrider. The story evolves into the relationships between the father and the two sons who blame him for the early death of their mother.Overall a worthwhile viewing.

Lowriders has a couple of things working against it right off the bat. First it's a Blumhouse release, which makes one think horror film. Two, the name implies it's a movie about cars, in the vein of The Fast and The Furious franchise. Lowriders is neither of these things.What the movie is, is a family drama centred on a Mexican-American family in LA. The father owns a car shop, and is prepping to enter into a car competition for low-riding cars. These lowriders are portrayed as part of the culture down there, though I don't know enough to know how true that is.Daniel, the main character in the movie, is a teen trying to find his way. He's a street artist (graffiti), but gets no recognition. His older brother, Francisco a.k.a Ghost just got out of jail, and recruits Daniel away from the father.These different tensions are well played out and acted, and it's easy to get invested in the characters. Knowledge of the culture isn't necessary to find the good in the movie.

For a low budget movie this is pretty well made and acted. cinematography is well done. Sure it's cliché and cheesy at parts or maybe even a bit heavy handed at others... compared to a B.S. garbageathon movie like the Fast and Furious franchise (after part 1)this actually has heart. This is not Oscar worthy but Worth a rental for sure.

This film tells the story of a young man who is an aspiring graffiti artist. His brother has just been released from prison, and his mechanic father does not approve of him pursuing his dreams."Lowriders" is really not my world, and therefore I have difficulty in connecting with any of the characters. I never knew cars bouncing up and down existed, and never imagined that it was actually a popular thing. Graffiti is not my passion either, so I basically have very little in common with the characters. The only thing I have in common is the ability to feel bad during the lows of life, but that is not enough for me to enjoy watching "Lowriders".
