Tight and efficient. Bolivian filmmaking deserves all our support and not be penalized by language barriers. Give this movie a shot, you'll be glad you did.

I caught this movie as it was starting on HBO Latino. Let me admit up front that I can read Spanish but don't understand the spoken language very well so I watched the film as a challenge to myself. Despite being only able to surmise what was going on in the absence of subtitle , I couldn't take my eyes off it. Wonderful photography, sweeping shots of La Paz (come for the action, stay for the funiculars, glimpses of bowler-hatted indigenous women, and a cemetery's glass-fronted memorial cases). An intriguing premise, gritty locations, a moderate level of violence, and great performances by a host of supporting characters. Catch it if you can.
