Alicia I love this movie so much

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

nishantu This movie could have easily fallen into the category of the typical assassination plot stories but the screenplay and the direction makes it different.Every actor in the movie has done justice to their role and made the movie work.The movies tends to get slow at times but that doesn't deter me to rate it at 7/10.Like every thriller there is more fiction than fact but the director has tied the loose ends to the plot and focused the movie all around the investigation rather than highlighting the political drama unfolding in Mexico around that time.The film does a very decent job of building credible sequences to explain what might have happened to motivate and execute the murder of the presidential candidate. Definitely worth a watch !

alshwenbear1 I CAN't review this movie with ignorance; I wasn't a child when this happened. I have knowledge about what it represents, being a Mexican and seeing firsthand the political system in Mexico, and regardless of living in the USA for more than twenty years I will tell you that the political system in Mexico is the same as decades ago. This movie is a great movie, because is not just a movie! It's all that, I hated and criticized, the corruption and the lack of morals in my birth country, is that so, that seeing and predicting the past election in the USA, it was just common sense for some of us, that's how much some Mexicans understand politics,. The acting, is good, I was surprised that some of the actors would actually be able to recreate such a realistic atmosphere, and the best of it, bringing into life despicable people some of us still remember, I could rant and rant about this political, "fictional" movie, I just got to say this is just for people with a good knowledge about real life, acting and movies, if you are in that category, you won't regret watching it!

Raul Camba Contrary to the previous reviewer, I was not a baby when the events depicted in this Film occurred. This also implies some potential bias from my side in terms of having a better chance of identifying the characters. The film does a very decent job of building credible sequences to explain what might have happened to motivate and execute the murder of the presidential candidate. For those of us who remember the anguish of the events, and the frustration not to be able to put the pieces of the puzzle together, this is a very nice try to make sense of things without committing excessively with a single particular hypothesis. The acting is first class, in particular from Daniel Gimenez Cacho, who creates a repulsive "Doctor" who makes our stomach wretch with the villainy of the old Mexican political class. The film maintains always a decent pace- balancing nicely the potential boredom of a documentary with the excesses of a fast paced action film. Kudos for the Mexican cinema, probably an overstatement, but a nice try to emulate Stone's JFK.
