About
Miss Bala

A world that is besieged by the lawlessness of narco-traffickers is pretty brutal, and this is a brutal, unflinching film about this reality. I found the script to be a bit unbelievable--not with respect to the demise of civil society and the corruption of power at all levels, but with respect to the credibility of the plot--but the film is powerful as a document of real social conditions, and also as a thriller.
