Trailer
Why watch this film?
Finn Cole ("Death School") and Margot Robbie ("Birds of Prey") star in this typical independent film festival drama. In this story, which has echoes of "Bonnie & Clyde," we follow Eugene Evans (Cole), a young man who wants to get away from his small Texas town. His life takes a turn when he discovers Allison Wells (Robbie), an injured and fugitive bank robber. Torn between claiming the reward for her capture and his growing attraction to the criminal, Eugene must make a decision that will forever affect his life and those closest to him. This escapist drama with touches of romance is nothing spectacular, but it serves its purpose and will please those looking for a period western story.

Underdog
In its effort to raise awareness about the precarious social reality of certain sectors of the population, Mexican cinema tends to fall into miserabilism (or so-called "poverty porn"), whether in documentaries or fiction. The quest of Mexican cinema for new creative and narrative horizons is ongoing, and in the case of Underdog (Correr para vivir), director and co-writer Gerardo Dorantes opts for what, in its conventions, is an action and crime thriller extrapolated to the context of the Rarámuri (or Tarahumara) indigenous people of northern Mexico, famous for their running tradition (and their extraordinary talent for it). The plot follows two brothers: Omero (Vladimir Rivera), who dreams of being a runner; and Capó (Manuel Cruz Vivas), who is more talented but also troubled. Both are dragged into a life of service to the drug trade when Capó, in an attempt to provide for his pregnant girlfriend, fails in a cocaine delivery. To be honest, it's a good attempt to steer Mexican cinema towards other directions that are not the typical exploitation of social dramas or anthropological documentaries. However, the film ends up falling into the same vices, representing Rarámuri culture from a superficial and idealized exoticism, creating entertainment from a real social context with little sensitivity.
