    This is one of the best movies I have ever seen! Even though I don't speak Spanish well, I could follow the story just fine! I wondered at the "C" rating posted in the lobby. Many families brought their children with them. This is not a movie for little children, I'd say 14 years and up. When the film ended you could have heard a pin drop! We all just sat there while the credits rolled. See it, if you have the opportunity, it is a great film!

    Perhaps childhood's innocence is not lost yet, the real problem could be that today's so knowledgeable children just can't distinguish between good and evil. Elisa is the typical child from a Mexican medium class family (for whom a brand new car could mean their whole life savings), who decides to help their parents on their struggle with a car debt with the local bank.

    Elisa can't get too much from her parents: her dad is focused on his debt, her mother hardly crosses any word with her. It's when she meets Miguel, a young boy who worships his felon brother `El Rey' (`The King'), when she decides to strike back and gets to mastermind a bank's robbery. I tell no more. Watch it and I promise you will enjoy it. Despite Sherlyn was so young when she acted on this movie, this masterpiece of Mexican movie making will always make us remember her as one of the most promising actresses of all times.

    This movie is bad, I think that the parents are so consumed with this pretend life they are trying to maintain that they don't care about all the problems that come upon them.

    For instance, I think that the idea of money problems is hardly sustained if you notice the big and well located apartment they live in, the just bought car, and everything they have. Why would anyone endure so much stress just to keep up with this facade?.

    They just represent selfish grown-ups that would rather have their daughter killed before they notice the stupidity in which they are down to their necks.

    It would of been so much easier to just sell the car, move out of the flat and continue to work hard to overcome the hard times, instead of adding debts with a new car just because the father wanted one.
