Miss Balle

« Seven years later, the Mexican film now has a Hollywood remake, one that adds new elements to the story but is less coherent in its message. »

« Director Catherine Hardwicke puts a gun in the hand of Rodriguez's abused heroine but still manages to deprive her of her power as a survivor. »

« I've probably made Miss Bala sound richer than it is. »

« This by-the-book Hollywood remake of the 2011 Mexican art-house movie transforms a passive victim into a new kind of empowered action heroine. »

« Jane the Virgin' star goes into gun-toting, ass-kicking mode with this American remake of a Mexican thriller about a reluctant drug mule. »

« The ending seems as unlikely as the sight of the sun rising over the Pacific. »

« Its positives eventually outweigh the negatives, and make the new movie a passable option for a weekend night out. »

« Si Rodriguez est malgré tout parfois émouvante, le suave Ismael Cruz Cordova fait plus sourire que frémir dans le rôle du caïd. »
