Please for the love of everything holy, go check this film out.

Succumbs to the dangers of such a fractured narrative practice: too much bravado, not enough soul.
03/07/01
Apart from the first story, the film just doesn't live up to its promise.
03/08/01
Almost entirely a surface phenomenon, fascinating to look at but pretty empty beneath a raucously mesmerizing exterior.
04/11/01
Punishingly overlong.
03/27/01
The structure lacks purpose, the film struggles to justify its two-and-a-half-hour running time and the faint-hearted might find it a little gory.

The filmmakers offer little hope for these characters.

A head-on hit -- and a tasty treat for lovers of Tarantino-style feasts of fine visual excess.

It is that rarest of features that shows a deep understanding of people, truly cinematic storytelling technique and brilliantly choreographed fight and chase scenes.

A strange range of humanity that, if nothing else, provides some much-needed alternatives to typical Mexican stereotypes.
03/30/01
A film with something to say and a remarkably adult understanding of human passion and the crazy places it leads us.
03/30/01
One of the most honored and most expertly articulated Mexican films of recent years.
04/27/07
Solidly engaging, supersized 2000 Mexican drama.
