Los Herederos

About adolescence, and its irresponsibility, evil friendships, baseless bets, evil acts and their consequences... A good film, a contemporary portrait of our misguided youth, excellent film, simple, genuine and simple production, delicate, necessary... realistic... About impunity and injustice...

I have never seen a worse movie in my life, I was assigned to watch this movie as my Spanish homework. It was so boring, so stupid, so nothing that multiple times I just stopped and watched YouTube. This movie literally did not make any sense, had many plot holes and had 0 character development. Its so unmemorable, I only was able to memorize 2 of the characters names. The plot is just all over the place and many of the events don't even make sense, for example you see the main character lose his dog and get very sad about that, and then you see him kill his new dog at the end of the movie. Why? He was just sad about his other dog a day ago. They had this whole thing about moving to America, and they immediately dropped it. All the actions the character make are never explained and have nothing to it. There was a couple of useless sex scenes thrown in there too because you know every bad movie had to have that. This movie is the most bland cliche movie that has ever existed, even more so than the Emoji movie, at least that was so bad it made it interesting. The acting is trash, the writing is trash, the story is trash, everything about this movie makes me want to kill myself. If for whatever reason you're assigned to watch this movie as your homework, your best bet is to not to watch it and lose points, that's better than suffering in agony for a full hour by seeing this movie.

Los Herederos (2015) "The heirs" is an honest (although not very deep) view of the Mexican high class (mid-high, may be?), especially the teenagers. We see them drink, party, fighting for the girls. All this with close to no supervision by their parents, probably way too busy closing a business deal or something like that. When they get bored of this, using all the freedom and resources, and in the context of virtually total impunity of the Mexican justice system, they decide to engage in activities more and more violent. And this is when things go wrong.

The interactions between the teenagers are very authentic, if you are non-Mexican Spanish speaker you will probably not understand half of it. I honestly felt some dialogues so Mexican- dense, that in the first half I found it a little annoying.

As a drawback, if you are not used to this kind of films you may find the pace too slow.

A short movie, with a very mediocre plot and decent performances; it's okay if you want to be distracted for a bit.
