Mexican Moon

I'm glad I discovered this movie just in time for movie night I loved the filming locations, and story line. The music paired well with the story. This movie held my attention from start to finish. I highly recommend this one.

Mexican Moon is a brand new release cartel movie that just came out on Amazon. It's a moody flick that combines drama, action, and western genres. Visually, the film has a unique, almost stylized look and feel that likes to play in the shadows, almost reminding me a bit of a music video aesthetic at times, which is kinda cool. The plot has plenty going on between the cartel, our Vietnam-vet protagonist, and a whole bunch of cash on the line. The film is not without some minor imperfections, but they are ones that any independent film without a multi-million dollar budget would have. I personally enjoyed the film and would recommend it for someone looking for an indie with a modern western type of vibe.

Visually, this movie is bold and very, very different. Filmmakers took risks here and I commend them for doing so. I enjoyed it.

I kept waiting for something to happen. Anything. Instead, there's just scene after scene with actors monotonally destroying their lines. About an hour in my brain, in an act of self-preservation, stopped the film.

Good story and a solid cast keeps this indie drama one worth watching.
