7/10
grim realistic gem

Films like this make me realize just how lucky we are to have been born here and live here and not in some Central American country like Honduras. No wonder so many try to come here to escape the violence and hopelessness of their desperate lives. This film is particularly well done, with almost a docudrama feel to it. The violence is disturbing and graphic, to say the least. The reason I only gave it 7 stars out of 10 is that it doesn't leave you with any enjoyment, just admiration. I realize many viewers don't care and actually don't want a "feel-good" ending, but I for one like to feel just a little more upbeat or hopeful at the end. This is more like watching a documentary or news feature. Riveting, but mostly sad and ugly, exhibiting the worst in human behavior.
