Maybe because the main actor and director from La Ley de Herodes are attached,one would think this is a sequel to the 1999 movie that made history. Nothing of the sort, this watches more like a made for tv (and for profit) movie. Cinematography is as bad as any mexican soap opera, and it figures, most of the actors in this are Mexican tv stars, yep, the same mexican Televison industry that the movie tries to criticize.
While Herodes had some beautiful framed and shot scenes, and acting was very good, (maybe because most of the cast were cinema and theater actors) this one has the feel of a Televisa production, it seems clearly shot on video and the acting is really subpar.
The message is still the same we all know: Mexico's system is corrupt. If you want to learn why, then go watch La Ley de Herodes.
