A typical Mexican movie.

When i first watched the trailer i thought: "well, it might be worth watching it" due to Martha Higareda and Demián Bichir's acting. But i totally regret spending more than an hour watching an ordinary film. I'd really like and be glad to watch a Mexican movie with other topics, because you can always see the same in them: sex, poverty, (street)fights and drugs. Actually, there's no variety at all in Mexican movies. I'm not saying it doesn't have good ones, because it surely does. But all them talk about the same over and over again. One of the things i most dislike of this movie, is the ending, god, it could have been much better. I guess i'll start praying for Mexican movies with different themes to come out.
