Review of Sin Nombre

This is obviously a well done film, but the end result is a depiction of a ultra-violent macho culture of gangs in Central America. I felt no real sympathy with hardly any of the characters, except, maybe, the one violent gangster that slits the throat of another violent gangster just before he is about to rape a girl trying to (illegally) immigrate to the USA. There's violence in the film GANDHI too, but at least there's a culture of nonviolent vegetarians to contrast it to. Sin Nombre has no real sufficient culture to contrast with, therefore the violence just seems make you hate almost everyone in the film, and leaves you feeling dispirited.
