Cadena perpetua Reviews

"Cadena perpetua" is considered one of the major titles in the history of Mexican cinema. And perhaps that is why the film disappointed me in some way, because I expected more from her. No objection to the good performance of its actors, with special reference to its main character, Pedro Armendáriz Jr.

The biggest decision that you appreciate the movie is the flashback that runs continuously from top to bottom, creating different stories and situations are not always well linked and sometimes extend over or simply detract from the proper tone to this work. Best of all, the background of underlying social criticism almost impossible to expose the social reintegration of ex-convict and police corruption in a society that offers
alternative but to adapt to a predetermined roles almost from the cradle.

This blindness of the police after the offender reintegrated recalls Jean Gabin and Alain Delon in the formidable film directed by José Giovanni "Deux hommes dans la ville" (1973).
