As the film, with its haunting score and inspired use of popular music, builds flawlessly to its resounding conclusion, it is accompanied by a pitch-dark humor that grows out of the sheer absurdity of the city's daily body count.

Setting it against the backdrop of a wanton city under siege, Schroeder crafts a film of whiplash urgency.

One of the most genuinely shocking films you'll ever see.

It's sad, funny, shocking and completely unlike any movie in a dozen years.

An utterly nihilistic, harrowingly upsetting vision of hell on earth.

A marvelous film.

Rough, breathless adaptation of Fernando Vallejo's ferociously sardonic novel.

The performances can be stiff, but a kinetic mix of anxiety, dread, and numbed resignation is always palpable.

The blend of chic histrionics and ultra-bright daylight imagery make much of the movie resemble a network soap opera with an on-location interlude. It looks as cheap as life is held in Medellin.

The movie itself IS dull, however. The characters never engage our interest, and the relentless violence grows monotonous.
