The movie was okay. I expected better and was a little disappointed. They left it open for a sequel so we'll see where they take it

It was okay. Gina Rodriguez had some of the same acting skills as Jane the Virgin character. Movie was predictable but also had good visuals. The end was pretty good. I don't see a sequel out of this movie.

I wasn't sure if I could see Gina in anything other then Jane the Virgin. She was great and a very strong performance. Great movie I definitely recommend it.

It was good, but I felt like it was missing something. The plot was good, action was pretty intense, and acting was great. Just felt like it needed a little more for that fifth star.

Unexpectedly better than I expected, thought it was gonna suck but was surprised. Great cast and pace, ending was great but don’t know if they should do another one. Leave it at one.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, I went to watch with my sister and she didn’t even eat her popcorn from how glued her eyes were to the screen.

This movie was painfully bad. It didn't make much sense. but I didn't care about the characters to care what happened to them.

it's a good movie, however, it's taking place in mexico and not once was there mexican music playing. it was english female songs that i never heard of, nor even recognize the artist. if you're going to make a mexican movie, please add mexican music not american slow songs.

I mostly saw this as a fan of Gina Rodriguez. She was probably the only reason I enjoyed it at this point.

There’s a don’t overthink this” watchability to Miss Bala.

Gina Rodriguez, who proved in Annihilation that she’s capable of something so much more addled and kinetic than this, does what she can with such aggravating material, but everything around her insults whatever emotional depth she can mine despite what she’s given.

There are white-knuckle moments, notably Gloria’s crossing of the border with a heap of stuff that would raise troubling questions were she stopped and searched. Rodriguez puts us right there in the car beside her and it’s thrilling. But the outcome arrives a bit too pat, our heroine conveniently switching from cowed hostage to arms-wielding ass-kicker with dubious ease.
