This is by far the worst movie i have seen. Great cast gets wasted by a very poor direction. A simple plot that could have been greatly taken advantage of is thrased.

The starting shots felt a bit too long for me, almost as the ones you may watch at Film School in peers' excercises, in need for editing, but: eventually I thought it must be the Director's choice to portray an 80's, down paced feeling, years before cellphones/social media madness. And the film soon finds its tempo and style with Jesús Ochoa's superb scene. The script is well crafted, the acting team is memorable, and the northern accent is nothing but sweet. After so many film/tv show trips of "MEXICO IS A NARCO STATE", this sort of prequel comes more handy, if you're trying to understand the phenomenon, as a small society is taken over by greed. This being Yazpik's 1st Directing job, I'm sure great films will follow.

Excellent film, with a fine and subtle humor, very funny, a tribute to the town.

Yazpik made a funny heartfelt film that takes the drug traffic as an excuse to make a journey through a small town and the people who live there. Takes place in the 80s, when the drug problem in México wasn't the murderous monster it is now.

A simple story well told.

It is like an elongated short film. The only redeemable are some performances. It was like watching the guy's life from the Simpsons fair.
