Ok, let's start knowing that Costa Rican movies are boring. Most of them are slow and boring comedies or dramas. Even this director's last movie is kind of boring. But wow with this movie, it changed completely. I definitely needed to see something Costa Rican that was so different, risky and of good quality. It has the low budget details of any Latin American movie, but it doesn't interfere with anything. The photography is the best I've seen in Costa Rican cinema. But the best thing was the music, just amazing, you can definitely tell it was made abroad. I try to look for negative points but I can't get ut of my head the fact that this is a Costa Rican movie, that makes the merit double and that is why I applaud that they have done something like this. If you compare this movie to Avenger or DC Movies you have no idea what you're talking or even watching. It's logical they're not trying to be like them, they just can't, that's why they did something no super-hero, common sense.

"Hermosa Justicia", a film set in the vibrant landscapes of Costa Rica, is an unfortunate dive into a shallow narrative featuring two trophy wives seeking vengeance on a surgeon for unsatisfactory cosmetic surgery results. While the plotline offers a ripe canvas for a thrilling revenge drama or a dark comedy, it disappointingly reduces itself to mere vanity-fueled shenanigans.
The film's central figures, played by local "models", embody the trophy wives. Their performances, however, are woefully inadequate, displaying an alarming lack of depth and complexity. What could have been a chance to explore the psychological turmoil and growth of these characters is wasted on a vapid portrayal of their extravagant lives.
The casting choice of Choché Romano, notorious for his questionable reputation, as the hacker responsible for tracking the surgeon's GPS does little to salvage the film. Romano's performance, much like the film itself, is insubstantial and fails to contribute any tangible suspense or intrigue to the narrative.
Furthermore, the movie doesn't utilize its setting. Costa Rica, a country brimming with natural beauty and rich culture, merely serves as a backdrop for the characters' trivial pursuits instead of being integrated into the narrative.
What we are left with is a disjointed, unfulfilling spectacle that doesn't deliver on its premise. Hermosa Justicia is a missed opportunity, a film that could have used its unique setup to provide a gripping, heartfelt narrative but chose to center on superficial exploits instead.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a film that delves into the human psyche, explores rich characters, or even just provides some mindless entertainment, Hermosa Justicia fails to tick any of these boxes. Save your time, and steer clear of this cinematic misadventure.
