Illegal Tender

Illegal Tender (2007) is an American crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Franc Reyes. Rick Gonzalez plays Wilson DeLeon, a college student who grew up knowing almost nothing about his father's death — his mother Vilma kept them moving, kept them quiet, kept the past buried. Until she couldn't.

The gangsters who killed his father come looking, and the film pivots: Wanda De Jesus' Vilma stops running and picks up a gun instead. Reyes directed the New York street film Empire in 2002 and brings similar Latino urban energy here, with Puerto Rico as the backdrop for a reckoning between generations. Dania Ramirez and reggaeton artist Tego Calderon round out the cast. Stream Illegal Tender (2007) on iFILM.
