This movie felt too real, and I say this from a country thirteen thousand miles away from Mexico.
The selection of various classical music masterpieces is very impressive !
Hilarious - No yo solo viajo donde te piden passport, papa 😂 No he tenido tiempo de ir de compras o al mercado....
This movie is a good example of the problems that exist in Mexico today; the plot is good, the actors are excellent and there is a good use of satire; it is good to see that good cinema is being made in Mexico.
Maybe because the main actor and director from La Ley de Herodes are attached,one would think this is a sequel to the 1999 movie that made history. Nothing of the sort, this watches more like a made for tv (and for profit) movie. Cinematography is as bad as any mexican soap opera, and it figures, most of the actors in this are Mexican tv stars, yep, the same mexican Televison industry that the movie tries to criticize.
While Herodes had some beautiful framed and shot scenes, and acting was very good, (maybe because most of the cast were cinema and theater actors) this one has the feel of a Televisa production, it seems clearly shot on video and the acting is really subpar.
The message is still the same we all know: Mexico's system is corrupt. If you want to learn why, then go watch La Ley de Herodes.

- TriviaTelevisa, Mexico's prime television network, supported the film early in production, but when they realized the criticism it made of it, withdrew its support. It was rumored that the actors were warned that if they appeared in the movie, they would be banned from the network. Televisa later denied these allegations.
