Mexican Moon

This movie is ridiculously bad. The acting is horrible. People saying line, after like, with no emotion, or any acting skills, and how about some regional accent from the supposed Mexican girl. She sounds like she was born, and raised in L. A. The direction is clunky, and action scenes are right out of Plan 9 From Outer Space. I realize it's an Indy, low-budget, but you gotta make a better effort with obvious things, like the fact that the actual blood isn't the color of red food dye, and gets darker as it dries. The story makes no sense. Why a drug cartel has $100,000 buried in a grave, with an AK-47 , and a cigar box that is forbidden to look in, is never explained, and wouldn't have made any sense if they tried to come up with something.

Absolutely dreadful. It feels like something I'd make myself with a few friends and an iPhone. No real dialogue, very one dimensional characters, pretty basic plot, terrible action shots. It feels like everyone who likes it are trying/pretending to see something that isn't there. It's just really bad.

This popped up as an Amazon Prime suggestion. Well... I'm glad I took their suggestion This was such a good movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I enjoyed the acting, the story and the movie's pacing. It went along at a nice clip! Bravo to all folks!! Very well done! Folks!

Mexican Moon is a brand new release cartel movie that just came out on Amazon. It's a moody flick that combines drama, action, and western genres. Visually, the film has a unique, almost stylized look and feel that likes to play in the shadows, almost reminding me a bit of a music video aesthetic at times, which is kinda cool. The plot has plenty going on between the cartel, our Vietnam-vet protagonist, and a whole bunch of cash on the line. The film is not without some minor imperfections, but they are ones that any independent film without a multi-million dollar budget would have. I personally enjoyed the film and would recommend it for someone looking for an indie with a modern western type of vibe.

I kept waiting for something to happen. Anything. Instead, there's just scene after scene with actors monotonally destroying their lines. About an hour in my brain, in an act of self-preservation, stopped the film.
