So, 'Rhythm, Betrayal and Death: The Killer Cumbia' from 1991 is this gritty exploration of Mexico City’s underbelly. It’s got that raw punk vibe mixed with the chaos of crime—think starved punks clashing with corrupt cops. The pacing is frenetic, matching the chaotic world of drug dealing and prostitution. The performances have this rough authenticity, bringing life to a stark reality that feels almost documentary-like at times. And the practical effects? They have a certain charm, a DIY quality that really adds to the film's overall atmosphere. It’s not the most polished work, but that’s what makes it stand out—this unrefined energy that really captures the essence of its environment.
