A multi-international production (France, Brazil, Spain, Belgium) deserved a premium Latin cast: Spanish Penélope Cruz, Venezuelan Edgar Ramírez (with two Netflix releases in less than two weeks) Brazilian WagnerMoura, Argentine Leonardo Sbaraglia, the Cubans Ana de armas and Tony Plana and the Mexican Gael Garcia Bernal. Why do people dangle and get into a life of crime? Or at least let themselves be exploited for criminal activities? Mostly it is because they yearn for a better life. Now I'm not trying to excuse the behavior displayed here by those involved. I'm trying to explain certain things.
After reading a lot of reviews I didn't expect this film would offer much. It was a bit confusing and disjointed but I enjoyed exploring the context of the film and really enjoyed the story of Rene and his family. Of course the fact they are morally wrong, makes them tough to connect with. Then again you also see them as human beings, see the relationships they have, build and sometimes destroy. And all based on real life incidents and people. An interesting and intriguing story overall, that will speak to some more than to others. Not sure which side you'll be on. Decent movie overall, if maybe a bit too long and messy at times.
