Good movie, bad critics.

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2004)

I thought this was a terrific movie. I honestly feel that the criticism it's getting is based solely on comparing this movie to the stereotypical, kill-everyone action movie.
And would it occur to anyone that Mexico, being the USA's closest southern neighbour, might have a good deal of Americans living there? And that their children might actually be a prime target? "Hmm wealthy gringo with no street-sense. Easy." Hence the American wife, American child, and obviously Mexican (yet English-speaking... it's not totally unknown) father.
Some people are so focused on trying their hardest to point out flaws in a movie (even when they're not there) and find SOME way to link it to "why America is bad" that they forget what they're really looking for.
And what was WRONG with the camera work and editing?? At least it wasn't just straight-up, "camera points here, camera goes there" and had a little bit of animation to it.
Seriously people, don't just NOT see this movie simply because someone writes paragraphs of text bagging it and pointing out (non-existant) flaws. Go see it for yourselves and make up your own mind. You'll enjoy it.
My rating: 8/10
