A Disappointing Continuation

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

A moving testimony. Despite the catholic context that Latin America was forced to embrace, this sicario (hitman) will find out that spirituality might be his only way out. Hard to believe especially when the entire documentary is showing us the deep reality of Mexico regarding drugs, ransoms, kidnapping and an endless list of what brain imagination can do when the power belongs to mad forces. Listening to this guy, covered with a torturer mask, is quite creepy and yet, how can he be so regardless about life ? This guy killed so many people on command, spending hours on the phone, one word, one death and "life" goes on. "La vida no vale nada, nada vale la vida" they say... Thrilling.

I have seen it, in English, legitimately. Incredibly dark, important film. If not to the systemic corruption and sanctioned drug trafficking which is crucially relevant to current affairs in Mexico, then it is an important piece into the psychology of someone who explains his "work" in a tone you expect a teacher would explain their administrative responsibilities.His description of early enticement into the trade, through training, through to various responsibilities and participation in conducting brutality of "enormous suffering" at the will of "el patron". This interview is not only a confession of a mass murderer it is a testament to how organised and how rooted the drug industry is in the Mexican economy and politics. An echo of a tragic history which ripples across south America over the decades.
