Review of Heli (2013) by Lety C — 29 Dec 2013
Complete RUBBISH.
It amazes me to read reviews for this movie along the lines of:
"Raw" "Extraordinary" "Sleek" etc etc etc...
Is this a foreign film that makes you think about the consequences of the (fake) drug war in Mexico, reflect upon the countries idiosyncrasy, and have you develop insight as to why it all became such a blood bath?
No. The movie is senseless. It shows nothing. Means nothing. Evokes nothing.
This was a slow, pointless movie that sought to exploit the reality of rural Mexico. The poverty, lack of proper schooling, culture and education. The acting is terrible. More so, the "actors" do not act at all! Just empty, 3 word sentences as dialogues, no creativity whatsoever. Sexuality is crude and tasteless, with no meaning or purpose for the film.
Violence is just a circumstance. You don't see any before or after, the how's and why's of it all.
I'm glad didn't pay to see this (had free tickets) piece of garbage.
