Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

jfverlon I am a Mexican citizen in my forties and avid film viewer. After watching "El infierno" ("Hell" in its original title), I am left with mixed feelings. On the one side, I was depressed to see some of the worst of Mexican reality on screen. On the other I think this is a *good* movie. Another reviewer pointed out that some scenes of this film are worth being taught in film schools. I agree. The director, Luis Estrada, chose his locations well and camera work is impeccable. Casting is spot-on and performances are good, especially Ernesto Gómez Cruz, as a ridiculously unbelievable Drug Lord, with good supporting performances throughout. Estrada has obviously studied contemporary masters and it shows: If you look closely you'll see the legacy of Leone, Tarantino or Scorsese here. A final warning: if you are a native Spanish speaker, but not a Mexican, you may feel lost watching this: Mexican slang and swearing are ubiquitous, and I am afraid some of the (dark) humor may not be understood or get lost in translation. However, don't let that stop you from watching this intense, violent, but ultimately interesting film.

yo_vole_t44 When it comes to "El Infierno" I have to say that is a very sad movie. Why? Because it shows a very sad reality of my beloved country, myself, as a Mexican, think that the movie portrays something that is affecting Mexico in very brutal way. I gave it a 9 because din't like the rating they gave it here ("C", which would be almost a NC-17 in the US) and I would like have taken my teenage boy (as a "R" rated movie) to show him what could happen to him or to any family is he or any of his junior high friends take the easy road, and also for the two pointless sex scenes it shows. I really hope they screen this movie in the US. For those retractors (no racists or anti inmigrannts) of Mexico, Mexicans, or the violence situation we have, or just plain rednecks that don't or want to understand, It would give a you a little idea of why this is happening. Anyway see this movie and think about it.

abraham mendez I think that is an excellent movie, the acting and the direction are great, but the only part that I hate about the movie was the way that the director and the writer shows Mexico, with skinny cows and ugly dogs and a horrible town that almost there are anymore, thats not Mexico, we have cosmopolitan cities like Monterrey, Guadalajara, DF, and we know that we have a lot of problems with Narco and violence, but that is not a good image of Mexico in the world in the way that they make this dark humor comedy. I like the director is like the 2 part of "Herodes Law" that was excellent and it was with Damian Alcazar, one of my favorite actors, Elizabeth Cervantes I haven't see her before , is a surprise she is very good actress and very sexy about the rest of the cast there just great!!!!

cegimes I was truly expecting a movie with guts, but instead I saw the same 1930's stereotypes of Mexican life, hopelessness and despair, alcohol, drugs, poverty all in a somber scenery of backward never advancing, ignorant, supposedly clever plot that finds any excuse to use expletives and show the macho role at its most mundane. There are certainly many realities sampled in this film, but it paints with a broad brush over the vastness of a country that for all its defects has provided for millions. I'm truly disappointed with El Infierno's view that in Mexico there is nothing more than drugs, violence, corruption, etc. But there is no view of the fact that there are people with jobs, there are people that have a head for business, there are so many examples that are clearly cast off. My opinion that this is reminiscent of films from the 30's is in regard to photographic aspects of the film, it seems that in Mexico we don't ever plaster any walls and that we can either only live in hovels or haciendas. There is always a fat corrupt politico and only brown skinned children suffer. As a Mexican I am truly offended that for all my efforts of getting up early to go to work and not falling into the category this film assumes is my reality, it is truly sad that this type of garbage is out there representing my country.
