Gente Decente
This movie is excellent, sexy thriller. Though it's a B movie it's fun, keeps you guessing and is sometimes amusing, in that these naughty people get in more trouble the more they try to get out of trouble. I like movies that shows you not just the experience of the main character but also shows you motives, feelings, lusts, joys and problems of all the other characters. Gente Decente starts off with a very hot love scene and continues with a hot scene of a murder. A place everyone unfortunately stumbles into. I'm glad I stumble into watching this movie but I warn you there is nothing decent about it.

No decent people here...
The title of this Latin American film means "decent people", which is meant to be ironic, I'm sure, since nobody in the story can be counted on to do the right thing. It starts with the "hero", Andres, who has just finished up his business with hooker Gloria, courtesy of his friends who paid for Andres' bachelor party. See, he's soon to be married to Rosario. When Gloria shows up at Andres' law office, an ongoing affair begins, and Rosario suspects Andres is cheating on her. When Gloria tells Andres that she has been threatened by a man named Carlos, Andres offers to help. Into the picture steps Ernesto, a violent criminal who needs $15 million dollars in a hurry. Add to the mixture Andres' buddy and law partner Roberto, some incriminating tapes, extortion and bodies piling up, and voila, everything turns into a hot mess. Who is lying, who is telling the truth and who will get killed next? This could be an interesting, if not original story, but there are a few problems: 1) it's in Spanish with subtitles, and you've got to be a fast reader; 2) none of the characters contacts the police, which is standard procedure in movies like this, but makes no sense here; 3) since everyone does something that is either stupid or wrong, it's hard to find anyone to root for, so you are really hoping that they all get killed; 4) the ending is abrupt and leaves a lot unresolved. The twists at the end are interesting, but the movie itself is too painful to sit through and doesn't provide the viewer enough satisfaction for the effort.
