Así del precipicio

To the reviewer who said this was an accurate depiction of drug and alcohol addiction - WRONG! First of all, one character quits cocaine and alcohol cold turkey and has NO withdrawal symptoms. In real life, she'd have severe diarrhea, sweats, shaking, migraines, weight gain, etc. Instead, she just goes on her merry way and everyone tells her how great she looks "Have you lost weight?" they ask. When she shoots a man, her father "arranges" everything and she does not get in trouble for it. This is so far from reality it's absurd! Furthermore, the acting is terrible, the writing awful, the timing bad, the character development shallow . . .even the green screen effects were poorly done. I'd say Teresa has a long way to go, if she can even get funding for another film!

Super sexy Ana de la Reguera can't save this movie from sinking. The story is too lame and personal that maybe the director/writer wrote it when she was 14. Te first 5 mins of the movie are the best example of what is coming next: sex, drugs, bad acting, terrible dialog and lots of plot holes and contradictions.

There was strong publicity on this movie that was sure to pull a lot of people into theaters, most of them guys looking to get a peek of Ana's nude scene.

Unfortunately Mexico creates 20 bad filmmakers for every good one. Not too mention the hundreds who don't have the connections, friends or relatives to get the money for they movie, or a family fortune...

I can't believe how Mexican studios still throw away money like that.

Well... this is by far one of the worse movies I have seen in all my live The story is bad by itself, but the way it develops it's really really awful You can see that the people involved in the movie is trying very hard to shocks us... but please! this is pure garbage, all the characters are really stupid and predictable and they are scenes that they copy, but really copy from Requiem for a Dream... What? Do you think we don't go to the movies or what? I read that Ana De la Reguera regrets being in this movie and that she did not attend the premiere as well as the interviews... Well Good for her!!! The thing that bothers me the most is that people got money to get this film done... I think that it's better to give all this money to the poor than to throw it to the garbage sorry but it's true

It is by far the worst movie I've ever seen. The acting is terrible, the story is grotesque and pretty unreal and they try to get our attention by displaying pornographic images all the time.

There is one user who assured that it is pretty much the way it happens in Mexico. I gotta say that it certainly isn't. I've lived most of my life in Mexico City and although we have a lot of problems, it is not like we live our lives surrounded by alcohol, drugs, etc. It is a shame that this user believes that the movie shows a true side of this place.

I would never suggest anyone to watch this movie as it is pure rubbish. If you plan to see a good Mexican movie try "Innocent Voices" instead. It may not be the greatest movie ever, but at least that's truly shocking, and a piece of art, I might say.

Anyway, don't waste your time or money... "Asi del precipicio" completely sucks...

I thought twice about to write this comment, but since I have wasted my time watching that rubbish I decided to get something worth from it. Well lets take it straight ahead, would you like to see some sex scenes?, there are a few and in that case I would recommend to watch any another movie, or if for any reason you got the DVD just watch the beginning and speed it up till almost the end. Would you like to know how is the life in Mexico?, I mean the real life, the one of most of the Mexicans live day after day?, I recommend strongly "La Ley de Herodes" (that's a real master piece). In another hand I really do not know what Teresa Suarez tried to show. If there is an aim or a message I really missed it. It is so funny that in this movie she shows a "nice" and "cool" Mexican people, having a wonderful life, while the reality is that 40% of the people (40 millions) in that country are living under the poverty line. I really wonder if she has actually any kind of knowledge about writing or directing or if she has ever walked through out the streets of Mexico. Moreover, it could be interesting to know how Teresa got the funding for such a movie.
