A master at sustaining his characters' likability even under grotesque circumstances, Estrada maintains an absurdist irony throughout.

While the storytelling in El Narco is quite strong on the surface, what impressed me the most was Estrada's ability to weave social commentary into the film.

The film flips quickly from funny and slow to extreme violence, but in the end it's plenty entertaining.

Entertaining and an engaging film. Great characters. I didn't even realise it was comedy until halfway through because screen violence is often quite funny. The main character seems a bit simple to start with but delivers a great performance.

Really really dark black comedy. It took me a while to realize that it was even a comedy. It is equal parts surreal, jarring and ingenious. Well acted too. The over-the-top violence really hits hard but the characters are very likeable and it was a really enjoyable film.
