Imagine leaving everything you have, everyone you know, everyone you love, behind. Having to cross half a continent on foot, atop freight trains, inside truck trailers. Swimming across wild rivers. Crossing borders illegally. Walking across the Arizona desert. Being shot at, robbed and beaten. Raped. Surviving it all. Crossing into the USA, after life in the poorest parts of Central America. Succeeding. Now. In the “promised” land, you don’t belong, legally; or socially. You don’t understand the language. No one knows you arrived, no one knows you exist. Imagine…. being Nobody. Then imagine a bag being shoved over your head. Getting your clothes stripped from you. Getting tossed in a closed room with a dozen others. A loaded gun is pointed at your head. You are forced to call back home and beg for money, a ransom for your life.
This must be full of homoerotic scenes. . Can't wait. Thanks Marcus.
Added (2017-05-21, 10:34 AM) --------------------------------------------- I've seen it already. It's not a gay film honestly. No scenes depicting any man to man having intimate moments at all. There's one character who is kinda "softie" but they don't actually show him to be gay at all.
I think it's the partial nudity of the victims that's why it is categorized as a gay film? However, seeing them naked is really depressing coz of their situation.
This is a disturbing film. It's painful to watch the torture scenes.
I was actually expecting for these goons to rape the good looking men to add more brutality but nothing.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD CLAUSTROPHOBIC FILM.
Even with the unknown cast, the performances are really strong.
The only thing that I didn't like...
they are illegal immigrants from Central America and they are supposed to speak Spanish right? How come they're speaking in English fluently? or maybe it's a Sense8 style ( they are actually speaking in Spanish but what we're watching is that they are speaking in English. Could be. It doesn't work for me at all. It would've been perfect if the victims are pleading in Spanish.
