Anibal O. Lleras
La Soga is a film of such raw energy and ragged beauty that these elements alone would justify its viewing. Beyond this, though, it contains a story both timely and timeless, brutal and elegant, for what is at stake is the redemption of a man's soul. In a poor neighbourhood in Santiago, Dominican Republic, where the streets are run by “boomerang” drug dealers (thugs who have been deported from the United States back to their homeland), a modest butcher struggles to raise his sensitive ten-year-old boy, Luisito (Fantino Fernandez). After witnessing the murder of his father by a vicious New York criminal named Rafa, Luisito meets General Colon (Juan Fernandez), head of the Dominican secret police. Colon preys on the boy's desire for revenge, transforming him into a heartless killer. Twenty years later, Luisito (Manny Perez) has risen to become Colon's top assassin, perpetually kept in control by the general's promise to deliver his father's killer, who has fled to New York. Into Luisito's emotionally hollow world comes Jenny (Denise Quiñones), a childhood sweetheart. Unaware of his occupation, Jenny falls again for Luisito, and the tenderness she shows him rekindles his dormant conscience. As his eyes begin to open to the corruption around him, he struggles to cope with the actions of both his past and present. Recrimination, guilt and fury bubble up until he is forced to risk his life in order to alter its path.

Anibal O. Lleras was born in Puerto Rico. He didn't graduate from high school, but studied drama all his life. He studied under Willian Hickey, Sandy Dennis and Ed Morehouse at HB studios for ten consecutive years, being one of Hickey's favourite students.

Anibal's career went on the express lane ever since Robert De Niro gave it a little push, leading him to go to Hollywood and star in a film directed by Charlie Kangainis (No Escape No Return (1993)) in the role of Caesar, with John Saxon, Michael Nouri and Maxwell Caulfield and from then on he has appeared in many other Hollywood production.
