Some reviewers have compared it to Alan Parker's masterpiece. OK the topic is more than close to the 1978 feature. And inspired form actual events that occured. But it could have been far better for a TV stuff, so realistic. It was made for home audiences but unfortunately also softened for those large audiences, with seldom brutality scenes. Many clichés too and so many predictable moments, unless the ending of course, so unbelieveble. But never forget that reality is sometimes more unbeblieveble than fiction. And I was surprised to see that in bloody and rough Mexican jails, you could getlaid with your wife. I at least learned something today. Not a bad picture although.
