Why negativity?
This film looked amazing from the trailer. It looks suspenseful & thrilling similarly to gravity. It really reeled me in with the idea of having illegal actions cross paths. Whereas the immigrants of the story are not seen as heroes but as humble & guiltfilled people trying to finish their illicit mission without any trouble. Unfortunately, a patriotic american man with weapons looks to hunt the Mexican immigrants for sport. Looking at the trailer, the director wants us to familiarize with the Mexican culture. In the Mexican culture,(speaking as a culturally Mexican myself) It is very common for struggling people in the country to find no other choice than to cross over to the United States. While the common conception of crossing over for careers or family may be true, a majority of the people over there are being killed/massacred by the thousands & the government isn't exactly held together tightly enough to build a safer country. I believe that is what the director wants you to think of when you have the hispanic protagonists come across the screen. People who've seen the film say that the script is very short in terms of dialogue which does not help carry my hypothesis unfortunately. I fell to say this because I see people taking sides on this thread & neither situation is correct & this film is not meant to take sides. We have a humble group of hispanic illegals vs a seemingly wealthy american assassin, Its more of a tale of cruel misfortune where the whole situation is screwed rather hero/villain structure. In the end, It looks like a 90 minute suspenseful action/thriller that would keep me fun at the edge of my seat.
