Three different people in Mexico City are catapulted into dramatic and unforeseen circumstances in the wake of a terrible car crash: a young punk stumbles into the sinister underground world of dog fighting; an injured supermodel's designer pooch disappears into the apartment's floorboards; and an ex-radical turned hit man rescues a gunshot Rottweiler.

What are critics saying?
80
A feverish, breathtaking tour through Mexico City high and low, an explosive, mosaic-style portrait of our continent's largest city.
90
The most enthralling movie of the year.
100
Philadelphia Inquirer by Desmond Ryan
An overpowering and original piece of bravura filmmaking that constitutes one of the most breathtaking and impressive directing debuts in years.
50
Undeniably high-powered. At 153 minutes, it's also punishingly overlong.
88
As bloody as any recent film. But it's shot through with a harsh, stony humor that's invigorating enough to be regarded as a slap back at death.
100
Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
Fierce, loving, and electric, this movie's got bite as well as bark.
60
There's something overly studied, almost clinical, in how it all pulls together.
100
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
A stunner: a fiercely brilliant film of such wrenching impact, nonstop drive and unpredictability that watching it becomes an exhilarating ride.
88
The gritty, Oscar-nominated "Traffic" is a limo ride compared with the bloodletting in this year's foreign-film nominee from Mexico.
