For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
In illegal immigrant-bashing 1994, Los Angeles investment manager Jon Seda (as Richard Macedo) gets in touch with his Hispanic roots when he's kidnapped and roughed-up in Mexico. South of the border on business, Mr. Seda encounters street gangsters, corrupt cops, and transvestites. In order to escape being shot by the former, the conservative Seda dresses up as the latter. The pretty blonde Seda won't go down on Mexico's policemen, preferring straight sex with exotic dancer Itatí Cantoral (as Patty). He ignores advice from swishy Paul Rodriquez (as Poncho), who ditches Seda when the first handsome hunk beckons. "I feel like a fish out of water," Rodriquez says. The film's rules for survival in Mexico, as outlined by Rodriquez for Seda, are: 1. "When having a drink anywheres, never ever, I mean never, leave your glass unattended," 2. "When you're faced with danger versus going to the cops, always, always go towards danger," and 3. "Here in Mexico City, things are never, ever what they appear to be." *** One Long Night (3/25/07) David Siqueiros ~ Jon Seda, Itatí Cantoral, Paul Rodriguez, Hector Suarez Gomiz
