Caribe

Costa Rica's cinema is practically non-existent, so this movie is actually a good attempt, something that could've been decent with a better director and writer, this would've been quite and upgrade for character description and their motivations. Actors are not terrible, music, editing, photography are not awful; this again brings me to my conclusion, taking into account that Costa Rica is not a movie producing country, it's a movie that's actually not that horrible but is very far from being a good movie. Costa Rica is not like Mexico, Argentina or Brazil that actually produce motion pictures. It would be of irrational thinking that Costa Rica in the next 20 years produces something like Iñarritu's "Amores Perros" or Meirrelle's "Cidade de Deus". Those Latin American movies (there are lots of other example just to make my point I mention this two)are art works due to long processes conducted by those countries that actually incentive movie production and support (financially, logistically, promotionally) domestic movie production. Costa Rica is far from that, but with "Caribe" things started going on a different direction, it seemed like everyone wanted it to triumph (a little counterproductive since it was too overrated) but at least support was shown to a local production, and that is quite a start to generate more movies form Costa Rica. A 5 is fairly decent for Caribe, maybe a 4 but then again I'm Costa Rican so 5 is fine.
