There are a lot of things to like here (that crazy metalhead was hilarious), but some things just don't seem to work in the script. The father-son relationship, for example, needed some serious rewriting. And Hernán could have done a lot more with the setting (the decaying urban Third World landscape). It's still an overall solid feature, with decent to great acting and nice photography. To me, Jiménez has shown that he's one of the most important talents of the emerging Costa Rican cinema.
