Recommendation: Secuestro Express
Just watched it last night...it was GOOD.
Really liked the fast pace, the dialogue, and the violence.
For those that haven't seen this, rent it...I think you'll like it.
For those that have seen it, did you enjoy it?

Liked the grittiness, disliked the overpolished stylization! The visual parallels with City of God are more than annoying. As far as I am concerned Secuestro Express was meant to appeal to action-junkies whose interest in “foreign” cinema ends with Ichi the Killer.
Still, if you could read between the lines Secuestro...is actually very serious!
Pro-B

And if you don't recognize the Michael Bay-esque flashy cut-and-zoom camera work then I am not sure we watched the same film. If Secuestro was initially made by Hollywood it probably would have had the same fate as Tarantino's latest extravaganza.
