Frontera norte
Two brothers: one's a cop, one's a gangster.
Espaldas mojadas
7.5/10
Mexican worker Rafael Améndola runs from the police and cross the Mexican-American border, helped by Frank Mendoza, a partner of an American called Mr. Sterling, who gives work to illegal migrants. Once in the United States, Rafael does not adapt to his new life.
Cuatro contra el mundo
7.3/10
This dazed Mexican-melodrama-cum-boozer-heist-noir cuts a dark swath over a border nominally dominated by the hardboiled likes of Chandler and Hammett. Employing many of the classic tropes of Mexican noir (blood-tainted money, hothouse betrayals, the entrapped yearnings of dark hearts), we follow the slow demise of a gang who hole up in an attic in the wake of a fatal robbery. Galindo liberally dashes in lashes of the smokiest amour mort, gradually whittling it down to an ill-fated if rapturous coupling of gangster’s moll and underling. Starring Leticia Palma and Víctor Parra.
Los Fernández de Peralvillo
7.5/10
A young man fails as a seller of household goods and his sister, tired of poverty, elopes with a criminal.
Ángeles de arrabal
4.6/10
Small-time crooks and bargirls, and also their mothers, get involved in a situation over some stolen jewels.
La sospechosa
7/10
Young woman returns home from her travels and discovers that her mother's new husband is up to no good.
Alma de Acero
6.4/10
Inspired by Alexander Dumas's novel The Corsican Brothers, Alma de Acero presents a delightful spin on the classic story of twin brothers (both played by Luis Aguilar) and their contrasting lives. As a singer in a nightclub, one brother has chosen a life of peaceful simplicity; the other, however, has chosen a troublesome lifestyle that leads to numerous run-ins with the law, forcing the vocalist to risk his own life to save his sibling.
The Devil's Money
6/10
