Review of Secuestro Express (2004) by Fil A — 26 Jul 2007

Although it dragged the subject of the poor against the rich, criminal against the wealthy, this could have been a much better film without that red hot politically-charged layer. It kills the genre with, yet again, a social commentary beneath.

I know kidnaps, drugs, thefts and other acts of violence inflicted on the human body and mind happen here, there and everywhere. It just happens that April 11th, 2002 happened only here in Venezuela. Whatever the case, this is just a personal comment.

I don't regret watching Secuestro Express. It's wild, just don't buy it as a postcard.
