Miss Bala (2019)

I love Gina in Jane the Virgin and she did a great job in this film too! The movie was really good and kept me wondering how it was going to end the whole time. It didn't end how I wanted it to, but it was still very good and worth watching!

Fmovies: Wow the trolls are out in full force on this film, as are some of the fake 10/10 reviews, but the trolls take this one, and that's a shame. Who cares if this was a remake and maybe not as good? I didn't see the original, nor do I care too. A reviewer needs to rate a film on its own merits, and not from other films. And to the trolls who gave a film of this production value and talent 1, 2 and 3's, need to give their heads a shake and give up reviewing anything.

This film deserves a much higher score than the current 5.2. I didn't expect much going into this, but I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

For starters, director Catherine Hardwicke nailed this department. Outstanding camera work and she knew how to direct her cast effectively. The cinematography was great. The writing had some holes and pacing issues, but considering this is novice writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer's first full length feature film (wrote 6 short films prior), he wrote better than some seasoned writers. The story itself was decent and suspenseful. The casting was perfect and all actors were very convincing, especially Gina Rodriguez who was outstanding in her role. I felt she could've played a little more emotion in her character, but other than that, she played the naive innocent friend caught up in a gang situation brilliantly. The sound and score were great, and the V/SFX were well done.

This film is an honest and well deserving 8/10, and I hope they come out with a part 2.

The way the movie flowed was amazing. Like sicario bringing in the heat

Miss Bala fmovies. "Miss Bala" is one film that as you watch you will enjoy for it's drama and action as it's a spin on the dangerous world of life on the border as when crossed it's a dangerous world of cat and mouse that involves greed, money, drugs, sex, murder, and abuse. Gloria(the sexy and raw Gina Rodriguez who I loved in those sexy black bra scenes) is a California girl who upon visiting her best friend becomes involved in a drama and new sick world of smuggling and violence along the Mexican border. As it's clear no one is who they seem from drug cartel members to drug agents as Gloria is lost and has to fend for herself as the plot spins and thickens with different sets of bad guys. Still the drama and action is just fine for this film as the performance of Gina is nice eye candy treat it spices the picture up making it a knockout.

The trailers were the best part. Little action and pointless scenes make this film plain. I saw Peppermint last year and thought this movie would compare, it didn't. I was a little disappointed.

The storyline jumps inexplicably throughout. There's plotholes left,right and centre. Some parts just make no sense. The whole thing is borderline ridiculous. Has the feeling of a tacky TV movie only tackier and written by an over hyper violent hungry 12 year old gamer. Ok to pass the time but overall complete tosh
