Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film and "Un mundo maravilloso (2006)" are the films in the series that received less censorship during their projection in Mexico. This could be because the other two, "La ley de Herodes (1999)" and "La dictadura perfecta (2014)," were released when the most powerful and controversial political party of the country, PRI, known in Mexico for its intolerance to criticism, was ruling the country.
- GoofsThe close-up of the grenade tossed under the pickup truck reveals a big hole at the bottom of the grenade, which indicates it is a dummy grenade, usual Army surplus store stock and commonly used for training.

Featured review
To all those who say it's a sad Mexican reality...
This movie shows the reality of corruption, church and drug traffic but don't make it sound like everyone in Mexico is a slave to this. What the director did was focus on some drug trafficker and what he moves up his cartel's ladder but Mexico is just like all of the countries in the world, there are opportunities for everyone who really looks for them and the people in general are not dehumanized they are scared by what they see in the news and what they see in papers which is only the bad news. In all the time I've been here I have only heard s h i t in the news and what people say they heard. Sure the economic crisis hurt the people but that's everywhere not just in Mexico. This is a good movie but don't be a victim and say it's a sad reality, instead do something about it, demand the government what you want because in the end the people have the power to do anything.
