Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
This is only film who shows how terrible was life during "The saltpetre age" (1880-1929) for working class in Chile. All the attempts to create worker unions were crushed by violence. Maybe the script show too bad the baddies and too good the good guys, but all these terrible carnages actually took place in some mines. Recommended for those who want to learn about a dark side of our History.
