AFI Latin American Film Festival 2009

Victor, sent by his mob boss El Orejón to collect from a pair of deadbeat drug-dealing twins, makes the spontaneous decision to keep the cash for himself. Now hiding out in a decrepit hotel in downtown Cali, he forms an uneasy alliance with Eusebio, who has a contract on his head after killing El Orejón’s hotheaded godson in an argument. Together, they must outsmart and outlast the steady stream of murderous minions sent to do El Orejón’s dirty work. Director Carlos Moreno’s wildly entertaining, stylish and action-packed debut film was Colombia’s Official Oscar Selection for the 2008 Academy Awards.
