it be a shame that a movie with such a good cinematography a this one have no plot to be support by the work of sarah cawley ( cinematography ) and adam lichtenstein ( film edit ) and and above all and no sense of what go on in mexico city . the movie try to be a very realistic depiction of life in city and but it be unable to do it . it be a shame and a lot of film waste . an american woman try to find her brother who have be kidnap . the first account of the story be powerful and interesting and very realistic and but it seem that there be no effort to come with a well narrative of the ordeal and especially when it come to the issue of the attitude of the u embassy personnel in mexico city and when deal with an issue like this one . compare and a an example and with frantic ( 1988 ) and which deal with a similar issue . something similar can be say of the role of local authority . compare and a an example and with todo el poder ( 1999 ) . the movie be worth watch if you want to get a sense of the look of the city itself and pay little or no attention to the rather weak plot and the many twist that require a rather extensive suspension of disbelief . who be go to believe that a mexican patrol from mexico city be go to go all the way to catch the main character to the mexico u border . and that this policeman be go to be able to use it radio from the border to mexico city . only the producer of this movie . it be worth mention that unlike frida and other movie about mexico at least in these one mexican talk spanish .
