A pesar de hablar de nuevo sobre la violencia en Colombia, en especial en Medellín, y de hablar sobre el sicariato y las comunas, aporta algo nuevo que la hace un poco diferente aunque predecible. La historia esta bien pero los actores son lo mejor, los dos protagónicos, en especial Jesús (Giovanny Rodríguez) quien le da "vida" a la película.
