La Zona is a Mexican - Spanish drama film by the Uruguayan director Rodrigo Plá from 2007. The film was released on DVD under the title La Zona - Entrance forbidden .
action
During a stormy night in Mexico City , a huge billboard falls on a wall of a " barrio cerrado ". Three young casual thieves from the poor district break into the closed and privately monitored affluent settlement "La zona" through the resulting aisle and kill an elderly woman who she discovers during her break-in. As a result, the angry residents of the Reichenviertel took up the pursuit of the perpetrators themselves and thus came into conflict with the police.
criticism
The lexicon of international films found that the film was a “dark, deliberately slowly developed drama”, “which, despite its subject, is not about action”.
“Rodrigo Plá's negative utopia suffers from the stereotypical figure constellation. [...] Policeman Rigoberto is excluded from this stencil drawing. He hated the methods of corrupt colleagues and superiors, but in the end he did not rebel, his motivations also seemed anything but noble and he discharged his pent-up frustration on the weakest. At such moments, La Zona is a remarkable cinema debut, but elsewhere it gives away the potential of its exciting starting constellation in favor of an overly clear message. "
