I enjoyed this movie, but I have yet to see a film show the depth of narco-violence in full honesty. Many related films (e.g. Infierno, Coyote, Sicario) touch on it, but they pull back always, and right when realism calls for naturalism (i.e. Today, a "simple" gun execution is considered a merciful fate; decapitations are a manner of death and do not occur after death). For instance, Infierno would have been a far different film had the Zetas been presented (although they are alluded to when Reyes gets help from the City of Reynosa). One has only to view how Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel compete with decapitation videos to understand that while Infierno has moments of suspense and horror, it does not create an overwhelming sense f dread.Well acted and photographed otherwise.

El Infierno is probably one of the best Mexican movies i've watched in a long time, it has lots of shocking scenes but they seem to be less shocking because of the comedy context. Anyway, the film depicts a terrifying reality in Mexico, and furthermore the director did also made focus on the international aspects of the situation, so it's also a critic not only to the corruption in Mexico but the international corruption.On the other hand, actors are OK, they're not outstanding, but they did a great job to be a film from a country that doesn't have a strong film industry, the only bad thing in the movie is probably that the plot doesn't get to develop very well, so it gets kinda messy at the end. And i think it shows more a question rather than an answer to the problem.

This movie from Director Luis Estrada, who ten years ago made "La Ley de Herodes", now surprises us with a film that is both funny (in a very dark way) and sadly real, about one of the biggest problems our nation is facing nowadays: The narcotraffic and the violence derived from it.It follows the story of Benjamin García AKA "El Benny" (a very good as usual Damian Alcazar), who comes back to his town after 20 years living in the USA as an illegal, just to see his already impoverished town even worse than how he left it, now under the Drug War, at first he doesn't want to get involved in that business, but then sees it as an opportunity to make big money and then come back to the Staes, a dream tat soon becomes a nightmare.If you get the chance to watch it I recommend it just to understand the roots and development of this cancer, that being honest, is as much USA's fault as Mexico's, cause the Americans are the main consumers and their government has done little to nothing to reduce consumption.

I just got back from watching this movie, and I feel like a just got a beating, unfortunately, it's a beating of reality, and it's not pretty.First of all, it's a raw human drama that grabs you right from the beginning and doesn't even let you breath right until the end. It pretty much portraits the dark side of the human soul: violence, corruption, greed, murder, revenge etc. everything under the sad reality of the narcos and drug trafficking in Mexico. It's interesting that you see this from the point of view of the narcos. And it even has the virtue of using some dark humor that doesn't make the viewing more comfortable. Script, production, cinematography and acting are wonderful, especially Joaquin Cosio, absolutely brilliant (no wonder why he was picked as one of Bond's villains in Quantum of solace). I found valuable the fact that it is a hard criticism to the government, the authorities, the police, the justice system, and not just the actual ones, but the ones we've had in the past 80 years, and that, in a way, it's a slap in the face to the celebration of the 200 years of independence. That said, it has to be understood that it reflects only a part of Mexico's reality, though it's a brutal one. Just like after watching City of God you can't assume that Brazil's whole reality are the favelas, the same way it'd be wrong to assume that Mexico is just narcos killing each other. Powerful and brutal, not an easy watch, but, in my opinion a must see for any movie fan.
