2/5

Sacrifica o que poderia se tornar um forte comentário político em função da absoluta falta de sutileza com que desenvolve a narrativa.

Some may sniff at director Rodrigo Plá’s deliberately exaggerated style, but it makes no pretensions to authenticity. Indeed, it’s just audacious enough to work -- like Crash reimagined by Rod Serling.

5/5

An explosive Mexican drama depicting how the poor are being given the shaft in a class war that is raging around the world as the privilges of the rich and the powerful are protected.

2/4

If the insult of La Zona is not as significant as Paul Haggis's Crash, that's because director Rodrigo Plá doesn't trivialize a society's racial dynamics, only its class relations.
