Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
not horrible nor great
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
This documentary talks about the life of a man that tried to kill the president of Mexico back in the years when the PRI(Institutional Revolutionary Party )ruled the country.This failed attempt was made just years after the Tlatelolco Massacre(one of the worst massacres in Mexico in modern times).It shows how much power had (or still have)the ruling president.It also assess the absolute power and how deep attached was (or is) the torture within the judicial system. Also this documentary tries to demonstrate how the institutionalization,medication and torture got the best of a man's life , how a life is secluded and destroyed just by a mere whim of someone.This documentary its just sad and is strong ,sometimes it is so powerful that makes you evaluate the conditions in the Psychiatric hospitals and how their "Knowledge" work. It is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen and there is too much to learn from it.
