Mexican dreamer of success in the USA fights his way to cross the border of Tijuana..., 8 December 2006
7/10
Author: Julian Ferrera from Canada

This story revolves around a wrestler who dreams of fame and success if only he can jump the border fence of Tijuana into the land of opportunity. Although the film comes across as a socio-political satire look into the politics of bordering countries under post NAFTA agreement, it is also a comedy of errors with a keen observation into the colorful and culturally rich people of Mexico. As a first feature film for the filmmakers, I see tremendous potential and a sign of strong directorial vision. The production design is outstanding, the cinematography well executed and the sound track is of particular originality. I recommend this picture for those who appreciate foreign films that don't take themselves too seriously when showing to the world a portrait of their own society, its virtues and faults. The vibe and energy of the film reminded me of Emir Kusturica's 1995 Underground.
