AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: There's no denying the seriousness of Heli's story or the raw power of its more uncomfortable moments, but they're used in service of a grimly alienating film that many viewers may ultimately find unrewarding.

Critic Reviews for Heli
All Critics (41) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (25) | Rotten (16)
The film's nihilism serves as a metaphor for the merciless death pit of Mexico's drug war, but not much else.
Director Amat Escalante and his gifted cinematographer Lorenzo Hagerman have crafted a powerful film that feels and looks a lot like Steven Soderbergh's Oscar-winning Traffic.
Although it obviously is made with some skill, it also is unrelentingly dire.
Unmistakably, an angry film, an indictment of circumstances that seem to force a choice between impotence and homicide.
A stunning piece of filmmaking.
An average newspaper reporter can do a more artful, compassionate job with a drug-war story than this movie does.
Audience Reviews for Heli
"Heli" is an uncompromising, nihilistic film, angry behind dead eyes and graphically shocking.
