Reviews for The Sin Nombre
Just how wildly the film flies off of the rails is enough to set eyeballs spinning--that is, if viewers' eyes are even open by that point.
If Darkness confused you, you'll be completely baffled by The Nameless
I wound up admiring Balaguero's visual style, his imagery and cinematography, while remaining indifferent toward his characters, and hating his narrative.
