First off, I don't speak Spanish any better than your average highschool graduate. And this DVD has no subtitles. Yet for some reason I bought it out of the $5.50 bin at Walmart. I was there at 2am and not sober.

As I watch this film, my first impression is that Mexican movies look exactly like the Mexican TV we get here in Dallas. Then there's some shooting. Some guy falls in a pool. Ewww. Have you ever wondered, when you went swimming in a public pool, whether a dead body has ever floated in it? There's a girl talking in Spanish. Sounds like family drama or something. Oh, she's driving away. The girl was kind of cute.

I can pick up a word here and there. "Wife", "Money". The music tells me what the mood is. So in this scene i see that some guy is upset, and is in some way thinking of his wife and money. Oh no! Police. Jail. Oh my, who is that? I don't know, but he looks unhappy about something. He's screams something I don't understand.

I would definitely recommend this film, if only for the music.
