yet another mexican movie within the context of mexico city and pretend to project what go on there a a reflection of the whole mexican reality . film make in mexico hasn not change a bit as far a content from the drug dealer and prostitute movie of the eighty and even though be a little bit more polished ( to the point of be pretentious and exclusive ) . in this movie and a in most recent mexican filmography and crime ( kidnap in this case ) be the only choice for the main male character to get ahead and and the main female character be and yet again and a prostitute . this movie abuse the grotesque element and and i think it degrade for the main character in the cast . the main actor must have be in much need of money to go through what they do and take into consideration that he use non actor and mostly to accentuate and exaggerate and exhibit their physical shortcoming rather than to create and develop character . you can see how much the director and probably a high class junior ( because nobody finance his own debut with 50k out of his own pocket ) and despises and make fun very sarcastically of the low class . a for the rest of the movie and it deliberately slow and aimless . whatever mean a certain shot could have have be dilute by it lack of movement and lenght and ambiguity . besides and there be a lot of scene that stop the rhythm and do not contribute to the development of a story a bit . an example could be the scene where he be watch the soccer match and be ( seemingly ) play with himself while imitate the player who talk on tv . i do not understand what the equally grotesque sexual content have to do with the tribulation of the main character . the last thing anybody would be think about be sex if they be in the position of marcos . and the bad be that there not much anywhere else to turn to in the mexican cinema arena nowadays . good photography waste and a usual and in a movie without much content . make me miss my mario almada and or even alfonso zayas movie and which have no more vulgarity than this movie have .
