Interesting filming excercise

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2004)

I live in Mexico City and this movie moves me to comment on it. Although several persons didn't like the movie because its editing as a music video, I think this kind of editing perfectly reflects the kind of city we live on: contrasting colors, people fast pace and chaos. Beside the leading actors performance, the supporting cast is excellent and deserves special attention (e.g. the character of 'the voice' sister is truly exceptional). Violence and express kidnapping are sad things that are currently happening in our city but are common in other major cities around the world. Unfortunately, for us locals, the movie has several geographical and social inconsistencies. I recommend this movie and my only regret is that there wasn't more involvement with local cinematographers that could have helped in giving it a more realist setting.
