HELI is hard to watch... like all great dramas. It has good cinematography and great directing (the long takes make you question whether the actors were safe during filming), but it suffers due to Andrea Vergara and Linda González's bad performances. Also, during the last part, I started to wonder what the point of the story was. There didn't have to be a message (I disagree with critics who say it's meant to be a morality tale about the drug war and police corruption in Mexico; I think those elements are secondary to a universal tragedy), but a movie can't show suffering just for the sake of it. The ending cleared my doubts: The title character kills his sister's rapist and (supposedly) immediately starts having sex with his wife after a time period where he couldn't perform. Why didn't he start having it after his sister went back home? Because the trauma had given him a thirst for revenge. It's an endless cycle of violence. 8/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog (in English, in Spanish or in Italian).
