Review of Miss Bala (2011) by Alec B — 10 Apr 2012
What I like most is that the audience possess the exact same amount of information as the central character does from beginning to end, which gives the film an uneasy spontaneous energy that keeps you transfixed on the action.
It pushes the limits of credibility at several points, but that doesn't hurt the film enough to be a serious problem. As a thriller its quite nerve wracking and as a metaphor for how innocent Mexican citizens are used as pawns in the drug war between the various gangs and the DEA its effective.
