23 years after they starred together in Y Tu Mama Tambien, Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna return in Hulu's La Mquina, for a completely different type of conflict. Once more cast as long-time friends with a complex dynamic as they were in Alfonso Cuarn's coming-of-age drama, the Mexican acting duo and frequent collaborators are again on strong form.
Far removed from the guts and glory spirit of the Rocky franchise - the torch-bearer when it comes to screen boxing stories, of course - La Mquina is an increasingly claustrophobic drama set around the world of boxing. Unafraid of dipping into the realms of farce, the miniseries has the characteristic political undertones of many of Garcia Bernal and Luna's other projects, but focused on the microcosmic target of corruption, deceit, and disaster in the sporting world as the backdrop of two men fighting to gain control of their lives and legacies.
