5.0 out of 5 stars Good sleeper, May 1, 2002

This review is from: Mexico City (DVD)

Mexico City is a good movie for those looking for a mystery film, without the typical Hollywood feel. the acting was decent and the story keeps moving. What I liked most is that the movie will suprise you with new clues that link up the mystery. Some suspensful scenes too. I thought the fild was beautifully shot and choreographed too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A highly recommended hidden gem, March 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mexico City (DVD)

Mexico City is a dark, taut, and atmospheric thriller with a nicely complex performance by Stacy Edwards and a charming one from newcomer Jorge Robles. Proof that you don't need a Hollywood-sized budget to tell a dramatic, suspenseful story and keep an audience captivated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought-Provoking Thriller, January 27, 2002

"berkshirefilmbuff" (Richmond, Mass.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mexico City (DVD)

Richard Shepard's fascination with the kidnapping thriller has yielded another successful twisted tale in MEXICO CITY (the other two: MERCY and OXYGEN). Combining deft genre filmmaking chops with real insight into what it means to feel truly vulnerable, in MEXICO CITY, Shepard leads the viewer down a uniquely ravaged road of intrigue, deception, heartbreak and loss.

Cinematographer Sarah Cawley is equally at the top of her game, painting many moody tableaus. Editor Adam Lichtenstein ably sets Cawley's rich compositions against each other, adding heft to the story's impact. Rolfe Kent's score completes the circle by perfectly echoing Shepard's search for faith in a seemingly godless world.

Let me qualify by saying that MEXICO CITY is by no means perfect, but if a thought-provoking thriller is what you're after, then see this film.
