Why not make a movie about the real killers?
This movie creates some fake, ridiculous American that's killing immigrants in the deserts of northern Mexico. Talk about fantasy.
The real killers in the deserts are the drug cartels. This is a fact. And they kill more than immigrants. They rape women who live in the towns, then murder them and leave their bodies in the desert.
Why didn't el hijo de Cuaron make a movie about that atrocity? Because he's afraid they'll come after him. That is why. So, he creates a fake story that has very little to do with reality. Only to push a political message.
His father should be embarrassed.
