El Taquicardio is a gritty dive into Tijuana's nocturnal underbelly. The atmosphere is thick with tension, a real sense of danger as we follow the protagonist and his reluctant bar waiter companion. The pacing is relentless, mirroring the urgency of their mission. There's a rawness to the practical effects that gives it an almost documentary-like feel, injecting a sense of realism that’s often missing in big-budget films. The performances are uneven but have a certain authenticity, which oddly adds to its charm. It’s not polished, and that’s what makes it distinctive, capturing a world that’s as unpredictable as the characters navigating through it.
