Connor Macgregor Reviews...Sin Nombre

Today i saw a very interesting film. Gripping , emotional and very enjoyable. And its not in the english language. Its a foreign film entitled...Sin Nombre.

Honduran teenager Sayra reunites with her father, an opportunity for her to potentially realize her dream of a life in the U.S. Moving to Mexico is the first step in a fateful journey of unexpected events.

Firstly i want to say i love the lighting this film. It makes the film look beautiful and very stylish. Secondly the acting is very good. I could say its better than most hollywood actors. Pauline Gaitan who plays Sayra is very good in this role. She plays a girl who is so determined to get to a better life as the one she lives is falling apart due to gangs and violence. Also she potrays a variety of emotions that gives her a long future in the business. Either with her own country or internationally. Edgar Flores who plays Casper also does some great acting in this film as he is involved in a situation where he must go on the run from "His Hood". Also i think Kristian Ferrer who plays Smiley is great.

The Story is very grim. It takes a lot of twists and turns especially at the end. Quite a surprising end but its one that makes you think that Films these days do get predictable and all the same narrative. So to see this ending was surprising , dark and quite thought worthy of if Foreign Cinema are ahead of us creative wise ?

Overall Find This Film and give it a watch. Great Acting , Story , Lighting , Sound and Directing , i hope Foreign Cinema gets more notice and acclaim than it does now.
