On the Edge

This movie is one of the worst movies i've ever seen. The script is really bad, from the plot developing to the dialoges. The so called shocking situations (The sex scenes and gay situations) don't serve to the story at all, it's obvious that the reason of that scenes is to cause controversy to fill the movie theaters, which is a shame, cause in Mexico is a lot of talent (i can't believe this piece of crap is financed by the government). Anyway, the actors don't help too much, they act like a soap opera, you simply can't believe a thing to any of them, they are fake, unidimensional, and predictable... The director of this film really have a copy of requiem on the set (just listen the music score), brokeback mountain and ameliè (for the initial scene), sadly she is far away to be Darren Aron's. I really waste my time and my money. DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE PLEASE... IS Really BAD..

I just saw the movie and I have to say that it is the most grotesque, bad and raunchy movie I've ever seen. They try to shock the audience with their sex scenes, the drug abuse and violence. It is just so cliché. The acting is horrible, the theme is absurd, they drive it to the extreme and cannot get their point through, just to say that there was a point because I did not see one. They try to show the life of three "upper class" Mexican women, that have this life that has no line... It is just sad to see that this is the only thing that Mexican films have to offer, use of bad words, 'controversial' themes, and nudity. I just have to say that I lost 2 hours of my Thursday. Hated it!!!

Regarding the comment below mine-- just because Mexico is an underdeveloped country, does that mean all movies must be about poverty? There is, obviously, a Mexican upper-class. As a student I lived with many Mexicans (who were from wealthy families) and they reminded me of some of the characters in the movie, especially with their careless use of cocaine. Regardless of how "realistic" this movie is-- I have no idea-- it is a bit funny, and satirical view of a few friends "on the edge." So I don't think this director should be criticized, at all, for making a movie involving the upper-class and cocaine. As for the movie- I found it to be entertaining, I had no idea what would happen next. At times I wondered, where is this all going? It didn't seem to have a very clear theme, but I recommend it to anyone who can stand a few very graphic sex scenes.

I thought twice about to write this comment, but since I have wasted my time watching that rubbish I decided to get something worth from it. Well lets take it straight ahead, would you like to see some sex scenes?, there are a few and in that case I would recommend to watch any another movie, or if for any reason you got the DVD just watch the beginning and speed it up till almost the end. Would you like to know how is the life in Mexico?, I mean the real life, the one of most of the Mexicans live day after day?, I recommend strongly "La Ley de Herodes" (that's a real master piece). In another hand I really do not know what Teresa Suarez tried to show. If there is an aim or a message I really missed it. It is so funny that in this movie she shows a "nice" and "cool" Mexican people, having a wonderful life, while the reality is that 40% of the people (40 millions) in that country are living under the poverty line. I really wonder if she has actually any kind of knowledge about writing or directing or if she has ever walked through out the streets of Mexico. Moreover, it could be interesting to know how Teresa got the funding for such a movie.

Super sexy Ana de la Reguera can't save this movie from sinking. The story is too lame and personal that maybe the director/writer wrote it when she was 14. Te first 5 mins of the movie are the best example of what is coming next: sex, drugs, bad acting, terrible dialog and lots of plot holes and contradictions.

There was strong publicity on this movie that was sure to pull a lot of people into theaters, most of them guys looking to get a peek of Ana's nude scene.

Unfortunately Mexico creates 20 bad filmmakers for every good one. Not too mention the hundreds who don't have the connections, friends or relatives to get the money for they movie, or a family fortune...

I can't believe how Mexican studios still throw away money like that.
