Probably my favorite of Gonzalez's Death Trilogy films. Intensely emotional and violent, it does a great job at depicting human cruelty and interpersonal relationships.

As disturbing and heavy as it is, I loved this movie. It is for sure a breakthrough work of Mexican cinema and an amazing, yet brutal, look at the violent heart of Mexico City. It's Tarantino, Bunuel and Polanski all mixed together.

original, gripping. i was genuinely moved by the intensity of the plot and the vigor of character interplay. i am sure the impact would have been even more powerful if i could follow the Spanish dialogue.
