Purely Joyful Movie!

Excellent adaptation.

Plot was weak, and illogical. I don't wanna spoil it too much, cause there ain't much to spoil. Major plot points (money stealing scene, witch) either contradict what happens later or are extremely inadequately explained. So you're not quite sure what's going on until the end of the movie. Then you are outraged to discover how simple it all was, and you were strung along for nothing. Some pivotal characters only show up at the beginning and end, so you had better remember every face! Voodoo witch was a pointless, confusing subplot. Main character had exactly one facial expression and except for being a jerk, had no other moods and was never developed. Don't waste your time with this junk.

I recently saw this at the 2009 Palm Springs International Film Festival. This was Columbia's official submission for consideration in Best Foreign film to the Academy Awards. This is also the debut film of writer/director Carlos Moreno and he offers up a dark crime drama mixed with dark comedy in this film set in infamous drug cartel city of Cali. victor (Marlon Moreno) and Eusedio (Oscar Borda) are two low level criminals, one who has stolen a bag of his bosses drug money and the other who has killed the bosses godson. The consequences of their actions drive the darkly witty plot with lots of twists, turns and gruesome killings. It's a fast paced script from director Moreno along with Alonso Torres and colorful cinematography by Juan Carlos Gil. Still it's a typical blood and guts mob movie about greed and betrayal but it does have several interesting characters and some strange comedy like a Quentin Tarantino might have. I would give it a 7.0 out of 10.

This movie is great. It uses violence as a simple vehicle to tell a very smart story completely filled of amazing dark humor and full of cultural references. The "Sierra" character could not be funnier and the soundtrack is full of a very cool Latin vibe (I love the title song "Perro come Perro" by local band Superlitio). I hope they did a good job with the subtitles for the non-Spanish speaking market (I will have to wait for the DVD to check it out by myself) but I guarantee an amazing experience if you speak Spanish and count Pulp fiction and Reservoir dogs between your favorite movies. I do and I definitely had a blast.

I'm from Colombia, and this movie is one of the worst things I've ever seen. Reasons 1. Rip off of No Country for old men: A guy who tries to steal money from a criminal. 2. Rip off of The Departed: A guy who pretends to be something that he's not, the money and the ending. 3. The performances are awful, a bad guy who spits like everywhere, a man who yells at everything that moves. 4. Yes, people curse, but all the time? 5. Rip off of The Sopranos: Duh! Mobsters who kill for fun, that's NOT being the mobster, watch an episode of The Sopranos and that's the portrait of the REAL mafia. 6. The Cinematography, bad colors, bad lighting. 7. It's very illogical, the actions don't go according to the personality of the characters. 8. It's so flat, zero character development. 9. It's too long, it doesn't add anything new. 10. Do they have to explain and justify by talking every little thing that they do? THIS MOVIE HAS NO SUBTEXT!
