- Quotes
Gloria: You're not listening to me. I'm an American citizen. I know my rights! I want to be taken to the US embassy!
Brian Reich: The consulate already knows about you, Gloria. My name is Brian Riech and I'm an agent with Drug Enforcement Administration. Now these are encrypted radio cellphones that only Esparza and his people use. They can't be tracked. So you're telling me that he gave you one of these, and he doesn't even know you?

Fascinating and worrying drama about a young USA woman in a fine big-screen acting from Gina Rodriguez who finds herself unavoidably thrust into a drug cartel's blood feud as an unwitting pawn and her inescapable predicament leads to dire life or death consequences , in which surviving will require all of her cunning, inventiveness, and strength. Based on the Spanish-language movie ¨Miss Bala¨ (2009) by Gerardo Naranjo with Stephanie Sigman , Juan Carlos Galván , Arturo Guerrero , Noé Hernández , Irene Azuela and James Russo . Of course this wouldn't work so well if the acting wasn't first class, and it is indeed, Gina Rodriguez what a fantastic job, really makes us care for the character as the valiant you Gloria who finds a power she never knew she had when she is drawn into a dangerous world of cross-border crime. However , there're some incredible situations in Rambo style as the starring takes on a heavily-armed drug gang.
The motion picture was professionally directed by Catherine Hardwicke , though with no originality because copies the premises of the previous film. Hardwicke's first film as a director was the Sundance winner Thirteen which explored the transition into teenage years with an authenticity that still captures young audiences (1.3 billion Tik Tok engagements.) . Hardwicke often empowers female leads (Miss Bala, Red Riding Hood, Plush, Thirteen) . Hardwicke directed Lords of dogtown before she became best known as the director of Twilight, which launched the blockbuster franchise and has since earned over three billion dollars. Recently her indie film Prisoner's adughter premiered at Tiff 2022 and Dreams in the witchhouse dropped on Netflix October 2022 as part of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. Rating : 6/10.
