Esta es una pelicula dificil de ver por sus fuertes escenas de violencia, sexo, y otras cosas peculiares. No obstante es una pelicula con un guion muy interesante, realista, escrito por el propio reconocido intelectual mexicano J. Revueltas. La recomiendo, pero no para ver en familia. Ojo.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quick and right, but cracked, July 11, 2009

This review is from: El Apando (DVD)

The product I was expecting arrived quickly in the mail. It worked fine, but I was disappointed to find that the case and the paper cover were both cracked and ripped. It would've been good to know about these defects beforehand.
