i agree. great flick. i especially liked it when she stood up to the drug dealers and demanded her share and the share for the girl that died.

[theBruiser500]

yah that was very gutsy, i'd be too scared too

[ronzoni]

good not great.

Very good movie. Thanks to Rick Nebiolo for alerting me to this movie. I was glad to see the lead get an Oscar nomination, she was wonderful. Tough movie to watch, but well worth it.

It's not as good as the Godfather.

i figured mules would be bad sketchy people but this movie shows that they are good people who don't have much of a choice, their terrible economic situations force them into it

[BottlesOf]

I liked it too.

I think in real life, most of them are doing it to get a family member out of trouble which makes it even more sad.

Have not seen the movie, sounds good though.

If you're 100% serious in that post, I think you should be careful about forming or entirely changing your opinions on an entire group of people based on one fictional movie.

I'm not saying you were wrong or are wrong now, I just find your remarks curious.

maybe it is a fictional movie but the dyanmic is there and it makes perfect sense. people in columbia are very poor with little to no opportunities and being a mule is a huge amount of money for them.

the very fact that they get paid so much to do it shows how dangerous the job is, and the fact that people do it shows how desperate they are not that they are bad people.

I wouldn't trivialize this as fictional. Sure this exact sequence of events hasn't happended, but it is reality based. The guy who played DOn Fernando actually does that role in real life, looking after undocumented inmigrants who need help.

The movie was great, a real eye opener. I saw it in Spanish, I dont even know if it is dubbed in English. But it really shows how these mules who we see as criminals, are often victims themselves.

Hey Bruiser, I popped into twoplustwo chat, and the title was "Bruiser paid $200 for a hooker in China, ask Daryn for details"

wtf? is this true? That sounds like a rip off in a country as cheap as China.
