This was very good and based on what is actually happening to this day....get involved.
Unbelievable but true.. It probably goes on today also.. Why don't anybody do something?
great about the hardships faced by women in poor areas of the world, even tragedies... a fave Antonio Banderas & Jennifer Lopez were fantastic...
I liked the history, and the rest but Lopez, she must keep herself away from the cinema.... she make the movie fall off in quality!
An interesting and impactful watch, with some good messages built into the story (about politics, media, globalization and even the plight of the poor!!)
Surprising to find J Lo actually acting in this flick ...

No estaba tan mala como esperaba, presenta varias de las teorias generales de las muertas de Juarez

Loosely based on what is actually occurring in American/Mexican bordertowns, the tale of corrup goverment allowing those with money/power to rape and kill those with little control over their life.
I especially like all the specials on the DVD with real documentaries from the families who are living the nightmare. Open your eyes as you watch this movie. Get involved with the world!
I enjoyed it! Phenomenal story while entertaing, depicting true events. The acting is outstanding. The young girl did a great job and J-lo did okay. Banderas always brings out a movie, I just love him as an actor. Touching story, this will grip one... (read more) I enjoyed it! Phenomenal story while entertaing, depicting true events.

Job well done
A really good movie that helps to bring light to something not many people are probably aware. I was surprised by how much I liked it and the character that Jennifer Lopez played. Definitely worth watching.
