Pipa

First things first: it has been a minute since I saw the first movie that starred the character of Pipa. It still remains the best of the three movies that have been made. And I never even thought back then that it would become a lose trilogy of sorts. Pipa wouldn't have thought so herself, so there is that.

Now I do more than respect any other opinion and I say this knowing that I will probably get more thumbs down reactions than "helpful" ones. But I still want to point out what this is not: a tv show! Now if you don't like the movie, that is as I have said many times, more than understandable. We all have different tastes. Just do not confuse what this is, with what you think it is. Also be honest enough if you either didn't watch it through or not at all.

That aside and either assuming you have seen the other two movies or do not really care that much, I can tell you that you do not have to have seen them. It would give you a more nuanced look at the backstory of our main character (Pipa - though it had a different title when I started it on Netflix yesterday). She was in the police force - and that is why when something happens in this movie ... well she thought she was out and they drew her back in (no pun intended - you may recognize that quote from another movie - not making connections).

The movie is making political but also social statements. Some things are a bit cliche (especially when it comes to the whole poor vs. Rich thing), but it works in the realm of the story and movie. Well played and acted, this may have flaws, but is overall a decent movie - if you suspend your disbelief enough that is.

There's 10 minutes in the movie where it's a subplot about native Americans and it has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. What the hell. That makes zero sense.

Im only 30 minutes in and its enough. The scenes transitions makes no sense, its all over the place but going nowhere at the same time. Music is weird and cheap, its just overall confusing. I cant judge the whole movie but 30 minutes was enough to call it quits.

Dissonant, discordant, disjointed noises that vary between neo spaghetti western and '60's outer space music overlaying any dialog, which isn't too much of a problem since the dialog is stilted and amateurish anyway.

Too many plot holes and improbable situations coupled with a childish attempt at being a message movie about native south americans. I don't want to know who scored this or wrote this or acted in this, aside from the two young actors playing the rich kids, who earned my grudging rating of two stars, everyone and everything was abysmal from start to finish.

First thing first I haven't seen the other two movies of the series, but I read about their plot and they didn't seem that much linked. Overall the movie is entertaining even if without rhyme or reason.

Soundtracks are the best ingredient of this movie for sure.

Honorable mention goes to Aquiles Casabella aka Cruz Carreras: he made interesting and appealing all the scenes where he appears thanks to his acting skills.
