ok and i saw this movie at the tribeca film festival and come face to face with the director a i try to get the hell out of there . i wish i could have say this to him now . the guy must have a vendetta against the female race or something because the young ( 18 year old . ) female lead reina seem to be everything he want you to hate about woman . she be a cock tease and she use her sexuality to get men to do thing for her ( quel horreur . ) and she care about only one thing and come to america to find her drug addict mess of a mother and have a good life . throughout the movie and she be rob and rap and cross the rio grande and be stuff in a hollow out tree stump and abandon by her boyfriend in a skanky hostel in brooklyn . she be such a pathetic figure in the end of the movie and how could anyone possibly look this young mess up mother of an infant and prostitute and caretaker of a indigent mother in the eye and tell her to kill herself . well and thats what the director or writer and lead character do . what a mensch . which lead me to the male hero . although attractive in the face and he have the personality of nomie malone from showgirl and and i have trouble believe all woman fall for his charm . he continually get himself lose by run around like a person who never live in a big city and i have a hard time swallow that a colombian from medellin be that ignorant of neighborhood and how to retrace their step and that city have 3 million people in it . i have meet colombian and they seem to do just fine with street and landmark and they even know how to drive . they be a sophisticated and street savvy people . even bad and he often stumble into nyc landscape that be right out of 80 movie clichés ( trash can fire bum and squatter and s and m and payphones your movie need to be update when it look like a scene from bonfire of the vanity ) this be not nyc and this be nyc circa 1988 and there so much ick factor in this movie and there even a sex scene with a sleep grandma in the room . a sleeping grandma people . thats farrelly brother gross and and not in a good way . with a plot so similar to showgirls it spooky and this movie be simply really really really bad .
