    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      For the scenes where the dogs appeared to be dead or dying, the animals were actually heavily sedated under the careful eye of the Mexican SPCA. Multiple dogs that looked like one dog seen on screen were also used, so that the same dog was not under sedation for more than half an hour and not more than once a day at a time.
    • Goofs
      For photos taken for the 2nd time in the photo booth, El Chivo is wearing the brother's black sportcoat, yet when he subsequently pastes the photo in the album, the sportcoat appears distinctly burgundy in color.
    • Quotes

      El Chivo: At the time, I thought there were more important things than being with you and your mom. I wanted to set the world right, and then share it with you. I failed, as you can see.

    • Crazy credits
      To Luciano: Because we also are what we have lost. Special Thanks to: "Abba, Pater"
    • Alternate versions
      The following are from the deleted scenes on the DVD:
      • An alternate ending where the camera is outside the house where El Chivo was holding the two business partners hostage and two gunshots are heard.
      • A comedic and tender scene between Daniel and Valeria which would have come shortly after Valeria returned from the hospital. Valeria wakes up Daniel in the middle of the night to help her get to the bathroom.
      • A conversation between Daniel and Valeria in their apartment where Valeria reveals to the audience that she had an abortion.
      • A brief scene where Octavio bursts into Susanna's mother's apartment searching for her.

    Masterpiece!!
    This movie is a must-to-see if you can get over the 'subtitles' fact. (I didn't have no problems with it because I understand Spanish). Personally I was really impressed by the quality, perfection, and superb acting of this Mexican movie. The movie consists of three different stories connected by one sole incident. Sometimes you will see the same scene from a different point of view. Or you'll see an out of place scene that will make sense later on. The script was exquisite, very loyal to the culture. The direction was brilliant keeping us interested from beginning to end. And the performances were excellent, so natural and real that you felt as if they were people you knew. Be aware there's extreme violence in this movie, and even though there were kids in the theater I went to, this is not a family movie. I don't recommend it for children if you are a responsible parent. This movie deserves an award.
