Mexico is Corona and Corruption, 5 June 2002
7/10
Author: eixi from Austria, Europe

We don't get a lof of Mexican movies here in Austria, so this gives an interesting view on that country:

After his wannabe-girlfriend is found naked dead, a 16-year-old boy has to face the macho-tradition of getting even with her murderer. A victim for the blame is quickly found in a traveling criminal who gets on very well with the women in the village. Only the local senior inspector is still searching for the truth...

Great characters, especially the inspector who has to deal with his own corrupt colleagues, and in every scene there is at least one corona bottle! Apart from that average story, I'll give it a 7/10.
