I crossed the border and went to Mexicali to see this film specifically for Mexican independence day. As an American with no knowledge of this event I went into the film with no expectations and not knowing what would happen. As someone who likes to watch historical films from different countries I was left a bit disappointed because I felt the historical relevance was very minor. As in this event happened and maybe some of the things your are seeing may of happened we are not sure. You could tell this movie was made on a low budget. The biggest tell was the acting and the some of the little action this film did have, had bad practical effects. Overall the plot was dry and had very little to do with the historical event that they were trying to portray. I wouldn't recommend this film for people who wanted to learn about the historical event, you are 100% better off just reading about it.

I went into this movie with no expectations. The only reason I watched it was because it had been filmed in Mexicali and the movie trailer looked decent. This film is your standard low budget film so don't look for anything spectacular. The plot itself for the first half of the film is interesting and reminded me a bit of Taken in that sense but the whole second half jumps the shark and leaves you scratching your head and leaves too many questions unanswered. The acting at times is inconsistent and just down right cringe but it has its moments. The fighting is the biggest sin in this movie. The fighting is so fake and laughable but at times that's what makes it enjoyable to watch because it's so bad. This film had potential and had they taken a little more time and maybe hired a better fight director it could've been much more but when you get you're self into these low budget films it comes with the territory. I can't really recommend this film but it was a okay one time watch.
