5.0 out of 5 stars Great policital satire., March 11, 2010

La Ley de Herodes ("Herod's Law") is one of the funniest, most biting political satires I've ever seen. I've bought 4 copies of it: one for myself, the rest as gifts. It's a side-splitting condemnation of the right-wing PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) regime that ruled Mexico for 70 years--until the end of the 20th century--by bribes, extortion, vote-stealing and, at times, harsh violence. Thought set in Mexico circa 1947, the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" message applies anywhere--certainly including the Washington empire for the past 30 years.

Todo el Poder is excellent, too, exposing the utter corruption of the Mexico DF police.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprise, April 28, 2008

I usually don't buy this kind of dvds where they have two movies. Infact I had never done that and when I purchased this one, I really had no choice into purchasing another version but I am glad I did. Ofcourse, I love the film for which I bought this product, but I was surprised I loved the second film it included, and all for a reasonable price. I am glad I made this pruchase. and it arrived just in time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultra cynical look at Mexican Politics, February 14, 2011

Herod's Law chronicles the transition of a very ordinary young Mexican man into corrupt, murdering politician. Don't look for subtlety but do expect good story telling. Expect plenty of irony but not quite comedy.
