Heartwarming Independent Picture

I'd heard that "From Mexico with Love" had been called the Mexican answer to "Rocky", so it went straight on my list of films to see. I was glad it did.

Kuno Becker plays Hector, a cotton-picking teenager who makes a meager wage working for the cruel landowner Big Al (Stephen Lang). One day Hector stumbles upon Big Al's son boxing, and Hector gets in the ring. Throughout the film, Hector's boxing career grows with the help of his trainer Billy (Bruce McGill).

FMwL brings nothing new to the tired genre of boxing, but its simple magic through actors like McGill and Becker that make it stand out as a fine independent addition. McGill is truly exceptional, showing us yet again that he is criminally underrated. Stephen Bauer and Stephen Lang turn in great performances as well, and Becker more than holds his own on-screen with actors like this.

A very well-done drama that would make a fine Saturday-afternoon viewing with the family.
