one messed up movie

Violent. Dog-eat-dog corruption is the emphasis of this movie. Be ready to be terrified/disturbed.

Felt like a Hispanic take on Korean Award Winning film ‘Parasite’. Interesting storyline that follows rich family who has their daughter kidnapped in a time of civil unrest in Mexico. A bit slow at times, but finishes strong in my opinion.

If nothing else, New Order demonstrates that the line that separates festival-lauded arthouse films from crass exploitation fare can be very thin indeed.

If good intentions or even pragmatism aren’t enough to make the wealthy and powerful think about income inequality, New Order suggests, there’s always fear.

The relevance of Franco’s message is undeniable, but his handling of it is reckless and just muddles his themes in the pursuit of appearing intellectual.
