Hubby is watching and commenting (this is how we roll here. He watches and I don’t) on the show and everything he’s said so far has reminded me of a movie we saw a long while ago.

A single Puerto Rican mom with a young son is minding her business in her house when she is home invaded. She tosses her young son in a closet and kills all those home invaders. She tells her teenage son they have to move again and the teenage son refuses. And so begins the single mom’s kick-ass journey to eventual release from her dead husband’s drug dealing past.

Do you know what movie I’m half remembering?
