Customer Reviews

Good sleeper
Mexico City is a good movie for those looking for a mystery film, without the typical Hollywood feel. the acting was decent and the story keeps moving. What I liked most is that the movie will suprise you with new clues that link up the mystery. Some suspensful scenes too. I thought the fild was beautifully shot and choreographed too.

A highly recommended hidden gem
Mexico City is a dark, taut, and atmospheric thriller with a nicely complex performance by Stacy Edwards and a charming one from newcomer Jorge Robles. Proof that you don't need a Hollywood-sized budget to tell a dramatic, suspenseful story and keep an audience captivated.

Brave heroine in Mexican setting
This is not an "action-packed" movie, rather it has a more subdued suspense, and that's why I liked it. The main character, Mitch, a woman who is trying to recover from the death of her two children, finds herself in a life and death situation with a network of criminals while traveling with her brother in Mexico. When her brother suddenly disappears, she sets out to find him. Her ongoing grief and despair over her children is what actually give her an edge when she faces her would-be killers. For one thing, she really doesn't care if she dies, yet she really does want to find her brother who has gone missing in this underground world, because he is the only person she has left. Her combination of bravery, determination, and yet a willingness to die is just enough to confound her attackers, and I had a sense of respect for her character.

The Mexican man who helps Mitch find her way around is very likable, and gives a good contrast to the grimness of the other characters and tense situations. The setting in Mexican locales is interesting...and although they whiz by quicky, there are shots of a quaint village scene, a marketplace, winding streets, a long desert road, along with the harsher scenes of bar life, and the hovels made of tin and cardboard that serve as houses. Other than the movie ending rather abruptly, without a great sense of closure, I found it to be satisfying entertainment,
