An honest police officer looking to apprehend a dangerous member of a local drug cartel accomplishes his righteous goal, only to find that the reach of the criminal kingpin who has marked the man for death extends further than he thought in this Spanish-language thriller starring Jorge Luke. Pedro is a dedicated cop who always goes by the book. Barnabe is a low-level criminal working for a high profile drug cartel. When Barnabe is marked for death by his ruthless boss, Pedro inadvertently saves Barnabe's life by throwing the man with a hearty price on his head behind bars. Little does Pedro realize that in protecting Barnabe he has signed his own death warrant, and now between the corrupt police officers and murderous mob men it's going to take a miracle for these two men to emerge from the ensuing hail of gunfire alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
A brother and sister face impossible odds as they work toward leaving the ghetto in this engaging drama by novice director Teo Kofman. Mingo (Emilio Bardi) has never looked for a regular job but steals money wherever he can, while his sister Mecha (Gabriela Flores) works in low-paying, menial jobs to eke out a living for both of them. Their life changes when Mingo is caught stealing and sent to jail. While in prison, he learns that he can essentially become a pimp for his sister in the rural areas of the country where customers line up at "sing-and-strip" joints. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
