Chicuarotes

The movie will keep you interested from the beginning to the end, it shows the reality of many people in México and what they have to go through everyday (crime, violence, etc). It will make you laugh several times and also drop some tears.

This film is made every 3-4 years and when they seem to have experience on it they always make the same mistakes again. The weight of the film falls as always in seeing the sad and hard life that these people live, stories that are not far from reality, but if anyone took a camera and went out to record surely they would achieve what this script with mediocre dialogues could not achieve. It hurts because the opportunity to make a movie is not available to everyone, but why do they always give it to the worst writers? Why always this pretentious view of social inequality? Can anyone do something different in México?

It could have been good, but the execution was rather poor. Nothing about the characters made me believe that they would act the way they did, it kind of just concluded that poor people are stupid, rather than that poverty/in search of better life led them to take desperate measures and make silly mistakes.

There are plenty of other films where the idea of poverty followed by tragic events were constructed in a better and more realistic way, this one doesn't even fall in the mediocre category.

I think it is the harsh reality of the Mexico that currently exists, the things that happen in this movie have really happened in the country, and it is a slight adaptation of it.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about this movie in this review section. Once a person understands the culiture of CDMX and the life of a chilango en México then that person will be able to understand this movie. Great delivery and full of emotional drama. I would not expect anything less from a Mexican director. Great cast, great characters and this movie portrayed the real struggle in cdmx. This movie is a heavy movie. Full of emotion and was delivered very well. I am just adding extra characters to this post to meet the minimum.

Para mis mexicanos, somos más fuertes juntos. Vive México.
