Trivia
This film and "Un mundo maravilloso (2006)" are the films in the series that received less censorship during their projection in Mexico. This could be because the other two, "Herod's Law (1999)" and "The Perfect Dictatorship (2014)," were released when the most powerful and controversial political party of the country, PRI, known in Mexico for its intolerance to criticism, was ruling the country.

Goofs
The close-up of the grenade tossed under the pickup truck reveals a big hole at the bottom of the grenade, which indicates it is a dummy grenade, usual Army surplus store stock and commonly used for training.

Essential viewing for wealthy drug users. Very Impressive.

This makes movies like Scarface look second rate. It's well made and high quality. The subject matter is impressively dealt with, though there are no surprises for those that know the subject.

The characters have real warmth, even though the events are presented in cold, brutal fashion.

Most movies about the drug wars have a small Latino element. They assume the person watching has never heard of Mexico, they have clichéd characters and information overload so the movie-goer is 'educated'.

The story packs in quite a lot, but in a relaxed style.

It's probably one of the most believable gangster movies ever made. The characters are well developed. They never apologise for what they're doing, but they're aware of what they're doing.

Worth watching before if you're about to snort cocaine. Just to see where your money goes.
