Hello all,

I saw a movie a few years ago and don't remember the title or any of the actors/characters' names. It's been bothering me for the past few days and I'm dying to find out what movie this was. Here's some information about the plot that I remember:

The film is definitely an indie flick. I first saw it on Showtime On Demand back in 2004, I believe. The two main characters are two Hispanic brothers. The film takes place in New York City, and I believe in the Lower East Side, though I am not positive on that point. I do remember that the older brother is something of a negative influence on the younger one, pulling him into a world of gangs and violence. There is a shooting at some point in the film, and probably more than one.

The younger brother has a girlfriend, a Hispanic girl who attends a Catholic school. The girl's father strongly disapproves of the romance because he thinks the boyfriend is a bad influence. Subsequently they have to sneak around; I recall one scene where they kiss on the roof of a building.

It's not a lot to go on, but I hope that someone recognizes the plot! The first person that does gets $10 from me by Paypal.

Thanks in advance!

I'm gonna go with Boulevard Nights,

Unfortunately, nope. The movie I'm thinking of is much newer and is set in New York, not Los Angeles. The main characters are a bit younger too, in their teens.
