Good Movie With Layer After Layer Of Self Serving Lies - Criminals One And ALL
31 August 2020 | by dwp1948See all my reviews

08/31/2020 The constant layering of truth and questionable truth makes for difficulty in following the storyline as it's spoken in Spanish and presented in closed captions in English. It was pretty clear though that greed would triumph and friendships were used and tossed aside. The truly greedy never share, they only pay out what they must to achieve their end goal$. Good movie but hard to follow with the language barrier. Bon Appetit'
