      Exceptional Indie Thriller!

      With a title this wonderfully intriguing, I had no idea what to expect from this stunningly original Mexican political thriller from actor/director Azcona. The slippery slope of suspense, dread and paranoia on display here is simply breathtaking to behold and played to perfection by Azcona himself and his terrific cast. Classic indie filmmaking at its very best.

      Glad I took a chance on this

      A solid thriller. The plot, acting and storytelling were all better than I expected from an indie film. But the real stand out is the director's ability to keep the suspense going. I was a total wreck and it was awesome. Ha ha.

      Slick!

      A beautifully shot indie thriller. With a shorter runtime it moves quickly. Sometimes it's nice for a movie to get in and out and keep you wanting more. Some very solid directing. Worth checking out for sure.

      Really enjoyed this

      An interesting, taut, well done movie. At a lean 72 minute running time, there's no fat on this well paced thriller. And it will keep you guessing. Don't let the subtitles throw you. It's an accessible film you will absolutely enjoy. Well written, acted and directed.

      Very well done

      You never know what to expect with Indie films. High toff the bat, this movie had me in its clutches. I loved the opening with the old school footage ad the way that they transition it form that footage into the modern time was pretty damn cool. I have to say I was hooked form that moment. I wont get into spoilers but I will compliment the direction. I fund myself laughing, scared, tense, annoyed (in a good way! Phone ringing!) and just about everything in between. I thought the acting was spot on as well and no actor took away from the story. The cinematography was also visceral and you felt the characters emotions through the shots. I loved this and highly recommend!
