Audience Member A scary view into Juarez. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Docu flippant... J'annule définitivement mes vacances au nord du Mexique. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member "Unfortunately, all the academies in Mexico for training the special police, the investigative police, the military police, and the army, are used by the narcos as training grounds for future employees. You see, anyone who goes through an academy is ready to go to work for the narcos. [...] Of the 200 [police academy] graduates, 50 are already getting paid by the narcos." The Departed, or Goodfellas, in real life. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I have seen it, in English, legitimately. Incredibly dark, important film. If not to the systemic corruption and sanctioned drug trafficking which is crucially relevant to current affairs in Mexico, then it is an important piece into the psychology of someone who explains his "work" in a tone you expect a teacher would explain their administrative responsibilities. His description of early enticement into the trade, through training, through to various responsibilities and participation in conducting brutality of "enormous suffering" at the will of "el patron", is chilling and deeply disturbing. This interview is not only the confession of a mass murderer, it is a testament to how organized and how rooted the drug industry is in the Mexican economy and politics. An echo of a tragic history which ripples across south America over the decades. -nimbletreefrog Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member minimalist and chilling. very matter of fact. it's unsettling but fascinating. very effective. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member If you aren't into uncomfortable truths about the evil that lives in the hearts of humankind, stay very far away from this movie. The only part I didn't like was... Ah shit it's a spoiler. Nevermind. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
