In this complex drama, the turbulent lives of ordinary women and men in Mexico are portrayed. One story focuses on the relationship between a troubled youth and his mother, which improves only when he is arrested for manslaughter. In another, the wife of a macho nut who demands that she produce a child as a demonstration of his manhood commits adultery in order to accomplish this objective. Juana's story is only one among many in this somewhat confusing film. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In this action story, "Gatillo" ("Trigger") is a fast-on-the-draw agent of the U.S. anti-drug forces who has made a lifelong enemy in the person of a female drug-runner who has an underground den in Texas. Accompanied by his buddy Chato, he hunts down the bad guys. It turns out that the lady drug lord is the mother of Gatillo's son: she was forced to leave her pleasant life as a housewife when her husband found out about the affair, and she has nurtured a grudge against him ever since. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

This musical performance tells the story of an old man, his three daughters and the young woman he wants to marry. ~ Rovi

This clumsily made action drama is about the exploitation of hopeful innocents who allow themselves to be lured into what seems like a job from heaven, which will allow them to feed their families with their farm labor without ever leaving Mexico. Instead, they find themselves imprisoned as slave laborers in a marijuana farm, watched over by machine-gun-toting guards. Eventually, a newspaper reporter uncovers the drug ring, and the surviving laborers are freed. Based on an incident reported in Mexican papers, numerous continuity flaws and production errors (such as perpetually clean, new clothes for the farm laborers) led reviewers to a harsh assessment of this movie. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

For federal judge Cachas De Oro, to arrest the sons of the powerful landowner Ramsey was a routine job -- until it turned into the bloodiest encounter of his career. ~ Rovi
In this occasionally funny (though not intentionally so) action film, an Italian gangster develops an ingenious way to smuggle Mexican diamonds into the US: he uses scuba divers. To stop them, two courageous Mexican detectives take the case. The funny parts come in when all of the action grinds to a halt while assorted popular singers sing their newest songs in an attempt to imitate a similar trend in Hollywood. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

- Gerardo Reyes, Rosa Gloria Chagoyan, (more)
