Gael Garcia Bernal burst onto the scene as an exciting young screen talent back in 2000 in Cannes, playing a teenager looking for a way out of the slums of Mexico City in Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu's triptych about human cruelty and violence, Amores Perros. Nineteen years later, Bernal returns as director of another story of hood rats angling for an exit by any means necessary. But Chicuarotes, which shuffles wacky caper comedy, absurdist melodrama and awkward eruptions of gritty violence in a messy collision far stronger on sustained verve than disciplined plotting, is an exhausting misfire.
