After watching bad film ater bad film in mexican cinema, it comes as a refreshing surprise to get one movie that is not like getting disentery.
Macario is the morality tale of Macario, an extremely poor man that is given the power of healing by death itself. It is maybe not the most original tale, but it is extraordinarelly well drawn and delivered. The acting is solid, the casting choices were solid as a rock, the photography is beautiful, the direction and acting are believable to extreme measures and the few effects that are here and there are very well done for the time.
I have one problem with it: the music. It is extremely distracting, sometimes it covers the dialog because of how loud it is. It ruins the mood more than enough to deserve one point less.
I'd watch it again, surely.
