"Un actor malo" is one of the best Mexican films of recent years, an intense drama with overtones of suspense that managed to keep me on the edge of my seat throughout its duration. The script is excellent, it makes you wonder who of the two protagonists is lying, the drama and suspense emerge in each scene until you know the truth and the results that it entails. The work of the film's director is majestic, the leading actors: Alfonso Dosal and Fiona Palomo provide outstanding and natural performances, an adrenaline of feelings emanates from both. The cinematography is magnificent and is brutal in accentuating the drama. "Un actor malo" is an intense masterpiece.

"Bad Actor" is a rollercoaster of emotions where the viewer will constantly face the dilemma of where to draw the moral line in an uncomfortable situation, either to be quiet and take it as a bad experience, or to make all the possible noise when facing unfairness, in this case a non-consensual sex encounter within a movie set. This one is worth watching, very far from the common trend of light comedy flicks sugarcoated with romance. Fiona Palomo depicts her character with a superb performance. Alfonso Dosal is pushed to the limits of human resistance and Patricia Soto plays the woman who surrenders to the big temptation. A great film with several angles to enjoy.

"Actor Malo" is a superbly crafted film that captivates from start to finish. The screenplay is brilliantly penned, weaving complex characters and a gripping narrative that keeps viewers glued to their seats. The actors deliver outstanding performances, injecting a dynamic energy that sustains interest throughout the movie. The direction ensures that the film flows seamlessly, making the viewing experience both engaging and satisfying. Overall, "Actor Malo" is a cinematic gem that showcases the power of great writing and stellar acting.

I loved the concecuences of social media during the entire film.

Great movie from start to finish. Highlights the emotions and sensitivities of sexual assault from perspective of both victim and perpetrator in the most convincing manner with stellar script, acting & direction.

Fiona Palomo was amazing and Alfonso Dosal was also brilliant. There were many points in this film where I forgot these two were acting altogether, even though they were both playing actors in the film.

This film is high impact, including sensitive moments with tears to unexpected twists in a plot that came together seamlessly.

Best Mexican film since Roma and better in my opinion.

The story is not easy but you have to be careful to do it well. Fiona's impressive performance is what almost saves the film. But the director/writer does not have the skills to tell a terrible event with a strong but delicate dramatic course. They make Fiona bring out her talent but it's a melodramatic abuse that makes the key scenes almost unbearable. They waste such good actors and actresses with scenes so long that they become tedious and kill the little rhythm that is barely achieved.

You have to be tactful to be able to tell a story like this efficiently and without going overboard. The story is lost in overemphasis and melodramatic exaggeration.
