Another movie, inspired by a true story. The Movie tells the story of two criminals on the run . Ahh..but there is a twist. Isn't there always.Nene & Angel are lovers. Okay..that twist wouldn't be such a big deal. But when you get to examine their relationship, you wonder how and why they cling to each other. You have Nene , played by Leonardo Sbaraglia ...he seems to be the brains, the "Clear thinking" one. And then you have Angel ..who is played with a quite magnetic intensity by Eduardo Noriega.. a young man with some serious mental issues. In the after math of a heist gone wrong, they have to hole up with their straight cohort Cuervo until they can get their documents and the right opportunity to get out of the country.
What we experience then is a long slow wait . You see Angel retreat deeper into himself as he can't block the voices that he hears. You see Nene trying to reach him both sexually and emotionally. Only to be rebuffed. Of course the rejection, the cabin fever of being holed away makes him seek comfort away from it all. Nene begins an affair with a young woman...And that's when it all hits the fan.
I like this movie because , it dives just enough into the subject of how mental illness and a life of crime can effect two people in a relationship. The sexuality of the characters is incidental to the story. I really enjoyed and loved this movie. I think you will too.
Someone even made a very appropriate YOUTUBE Video... Here...But it is sort of a spoiler...So you have been warned.
