Santiago is a young DJ in the wrong place at the wrong time when he overhears crime boss Che Longana put a $300 million peso hit on the Machine Gun Woman (Fernanda Urrejola), a spurned ex-girlfriend-assassin of the mob kingpen. To save his skin he swears he knows the girl and can bring her in, but how? An excellent mix of story and video game tracks his progress as he finds and wins over the Machine Gun Woman.
This film lacks the raw physical action of Ernesto Diaz Espinosa's previous works; during the Q&A the director said that Fernanda had only two days of training (one for hand-to-hand combat, one for guns) prior to shooting, so a lot more of the action is carried by swagger and gunfire than physical activity. That said, I still appreciate Espinosa's flavor as he puts a video game spin on his latest creation.
