Review of Miss Bala

Miss Bala (2019)
1/10
Was hard to take the studio gangstas seriously

Nothing about the movie felt realistic. Everything was too slick, like the Mexican drug dealers were modeled on rich LA trust fund club kids and not actual Mexican drug dealers. All these guys were just too perfect all the time, like they were dressed by Hollywood. No one had any personality. It's basically a chick flick action flick for Hispanic girls. You have to make the guys look desirable to make it work. So that's what they were going for in this movie, drug dealers that look like models.

The end was so ludicrous, a shoe-in to set up future sequels. Not going to happen. Best of luck with that.

The idiot plot was also so strong in this film. If the drug dealers just told her to get her friend and leave, it would probably have saved everyone a whole lot of trouble. In fact, a quick text, "meet me outside now, we have to go" and that would have been the movie right there.

Just terrible.
