Moviegoers are saying
This Netflix film about Mexican-American drug smugglers set to a corridos tumbados soundtrack has audiences deeply divided - while some praise its cultural representation and authentic portrayal of the Mexican-American experience, others slam it as 'diet Breaking Bad' with terrible dialogue and pacing. The film's based-on-a-true-story credentials and folk music integration create a unique viewing experience that's either groundbreaking representation or an undercooked mess, depending on who you ask.
