Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

blumdeluxe "Murder capital of the world" deals with the city of Juarez, Mexico that has to face one of the biggest murder rates in the world due to the war between two big cartels.The film tries to highlight several sides of the problem and gives a general introduction into factors that play a role in the difficult situation Juarez is in right now. I never lived there or even visited Mexico so I can't really tell whether the documentary comes to the right conclusions. However, it gives voice to several people that don't necessarily share the same opinion and this is mostly a good sign for its objectivity. Even though I admit that the title of the movie is a bit sensationalist, I didn't get a feeling that the documentary itself treats the topic with disrespect or was just shot as a career move. I'm not a big fan of directors interviewing themselves, that is not necessary and I would have liked if maybe a person in some way affiliated with the cartels had been in the movie to explain its point of view but still I think that you at least get some input to think about the situation further. Unfortunately, the movie tries to include so many different subtopics that it kind of loses the red line sometimes.All in all this is no superb but a solid documentary that allows its audiences to get a basic impression of what moves Juarez and Mexico and what can be done about their sorrows.

Cinema Connoisseur Sensationalist film of somebody that only wants to cause scandalous with titles such as Murder Capital of the World, A Nightmare in Las Cruce, 8 Murders a Day, Cruces Divided.. I'm from Cd. Juarez and this guy doesn't have any idea about the real problems of this city. He does not even do a good research work and he interviews people that are not aware of the real origins of the problems. Over the years a lot of filmmakers, writers and journalists from around the world (UK, France, Spain, US, Canada, Italy, etc.) have came to address the issue and almost entirely serious work very well documented has been done. Professionals in their field even though they have not live in this city they do have respect for people and they are honest when they touch this kind of themes. Instead this is a work of somebody that only wants to feed his ego and at the slightest opportunity he puts himself in front of a camera and he is being irresponsible giving voice to ignorant and dishonest people dealing with these issues. It bothers me a lot how this pseudo/artist speaks about what he doesn't know at all because he doesn't give the seriousness it deserves, this is a very delicate issue especially for those who live it. Minn (the director) is just an opportunist that makes a document that is not well documented and 100% sensationalist worth tabloid TV program.
