Audience Member La boca del lobo, una de las mejores películas peruanas de la historia. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Peruvian cinema at its best. Lombardi gives us one of the best scenes seen by the Peruvian public. Very haunting and gripping. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent work - somewhat, but only vaguely fictionalized, account of the Cali-Medellin cartels rivalry. Heads and shoulders above what you expect from a telenovela - series runs 80 episodes. Knowledge of Spanish helpful, but not required as the subtitles get the points across. Believable casting and acting, all the way around. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member La mejor Pelicula Peruana Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Un clásico del cine peruano, siendo una fotografía del aciago pasado y una advertencia de lo que podría volver a pasar. y uno se pregunta quién es realmente el enemigo de la nación y quién es realmente el terrorista. Siempre queda la duda, porque toda guerra es sucia por naturaleza, más aun sumada a la desigualdad y el abuso de poder Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting script...good acting....but something is missing Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
