"For a film shot in Ecuador, Crónicas feels curiously American in design." - Jeremiah Kipp

While most people are going to look at the film as a investigation drama, I enjoyed it because of the underlying theme of how television tabloid journalism affects perception. There's really no suspense about the whodunit part of the movie, because it's pretty obvious, but to see how everyone reacts to the production, and the manipulation on all sides, is fascinating. I don't understand why John Leguizamo had to break into English every once in a while though (he speaks Spanish mostly in it).
