Así del precipicio

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll have all been easy draws to a film. This one opens with some hot steamy sex (and drugs) between Lucia (Ana de la Reguera - Cop Out) and a bullfighter (Alejandro Nones). The next minute she is rushing to work and shooting the squeegee guys through her windshield. She did tell them not to do it! Hanna (Ingrid Martz) is having problems with her very rich husband (Ricardo Kleinbaum), a real mamma's boy. She spends a lot of time in therapy. She also likes to check out breasts more than I do, if that is possible, especially Sandra's (Anna Ciocchetti).

Carmen (Gabriela Platas), Unemployed likes to hang with a gay and a transvestite, and snort cocaine. In fact, I don't think five minutes goes by with her snorting more.

Put these three in one apartment, and you are certain to have some steamy and exciting action. Unfortunately, only one seems to end up finding happiness.

I thought the acting was great, and the story certainly kept your interest.

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

Crap, crap, crap... I saw this movie because it promised a good work, (or so was the campaign).

But what i found was a fistful of clichés, bad acting, bad timing, bad direction, bad use of a could be good plot, bad edition, etc.

The vision of the excess is very simplistic.

It pretends to be controversial putting some nudes around here, some drug abusing there, some violence there, but all that is gratuitous.

But the worse of all is its pretentiousness, it pretends to be a "not for the weak of hearth" movie, it pretends to give us a moral, but worse of all, it pretends to be a movie.

It is so bad that even the involuntary humor is bad.

It's a shame that Mexican cinema nowadays is very poor, both in quantity and quality.

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.

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!
