Lack of good storyline.

As mentioned in other reviews, it has a great plot twist. Ruben Garfias is a brilliant actor, plain and simple. And Jojo Henrickson, who wrote, directed, edited, and had a secondary acting part, can evidently do it all. The only disappointment for me was that I was hoping and expecting to see the female lead in a topless scene, but for some reason it did not happen. But still, the story was engaging, the characters well-performed and written, and basically the whole think showed a lot of competence and care. Henrickson deals with racial tensions in a realistic and non-preachy way, without irritating me. He remembers, the point is story-telling and entertainment. Well done. Look for the two big talents in this film, (Garfias and Henrickson), to reunite in the futuristic sci-fi barrio thriller GB: 2525, now in post-production according to IMDb database.

For a low-budget film, I enjoyed watching this film. I particulary enjoyed the performance of my buddy Ruben Garfias. If you enjoy watching movies about the barrio (whether on the East Coast or West Coast), I recommend you watch this movie. The end of the movie was a real eye-opener.

You would think that a movie with the title Barrio Murders would be some crappy gang movie. But when you watch it, it turns out to be a murder mystery with an unexpected twist and intriguing plot line. Henrickson's story is dark and funny. He plays with the audience's intellect and adds a touch of pop culture to make you think about how sick people can be. From a great cast to the ala "Sixth Sense" ending, this film makes one to watch.

Jo Jo Henrickson's Barrio Murders is a well-written, well-directed film that contains some good acting performances. The premier was standing room only and the audience response was very positive. Enthralling story with a surprise ending that I didn't see coming. Definitely worth seeing.Look, there in the barrio, it's La Chupacabra, it's OJ; no… it's the Barrio Murderer.
