Review of Hell

Hell (2010)
1/10
Corrupt Country, Corrupt Indsutry
28 September 2010
If there is one thing true about this movie is that everything flows through corruption, even the Mexican film industry. This film shows nothing new, (it only reasserts the fact, regardless of the plot, that people only want to watch bloodshed and a bit of soft porn, and even that, the easiest task, is poorly achieved considering the crimes drug-lords have done through this past decade; I can assure that its not out of consideration to the victims family) on the contrary, it distracts the viewer from what is really important and tries to soften it with bad and harmful jokes. Drug-lords are not like this movie shows them, there are more than 2 links between drug-lords and small-time drug-dealers. No one could change so easily between sides. And the ending is nothing more than old fashioned political propaganda; to any viewer Mexico would seem like the 1940's, fat corrupt officers, drug-lords sons of bitches, whores in every town. The filmmakers only watched the news for a couple of days and believed they know how everything goes, Mexico is really worse than that.
