For lovers of this type of movies, it is gold.

Warning: Spoilers
The king of special effects, regular performances and good action scenes in those years was Valentin Trujillo and the fashionable villain par excellence was Eleazar Garcia Jr. This film is a combination of social realities and unlimited action, something like Trujillo He had us very accustomed to all his fans.

Although many of his films were repetitive, this one in particular seems crazy to me, because it had such good elements that it made us see that it was not that difficult to make a quality film with little money and good production.

A film focused on police terms, terms of legal demands, on strong themes and above all on a message for society where it is shown that many times the bad guy always gets what he deserves, that for me was the cinema of Valentin Trujillo.

For this film in particular, I think it was further than what its audience was used to, since it was one of the films that dealt with the issue of rape and abuse of women, also combined with many injustices on the part of the justice system and from the same police. Demonstrating that there were many inconsistencies in the cases that took part in those years.

If you are fans of B-rated cinema and low-quality films from Mexican cinema, this is definitely a film for you, as well as for all the fans of Trujillo and his films, which I personally found to be excellent for the most part.

Low budgeter turd starring the king of B-movies with low budget, Valentin Trujillo.

Well this movie deals about how women are raped in Mèxico City every 9 minutes. Trujillo is some sort of a social defensor of raped women and fights against authorities that do not proceed against well, rapists.

The film also focuses on legal issues. Let me explain myself. The movie describes how Mexican Criminal Law defines the term "rape". Also, defines how raped women need to declare against Ministerio Publico (D.A. more or less in USA) and how sometimes authorities won't listen to victims.

Olivia Collins is raped in the movie but the doctor that examines her determines that a crime wasn't committed. So Trujillo starts his action against authorities and of course, the rapist.

In this case the rapist is a terrible actor with a laughable sense of fashion. His head looks like a dead animal in the likes of Pepe Lepu.

Also, there's cheap publicity for Coca-Cola. Trujillo's telephone is a coca-cola bottle! and in the next scene he's seen drinking a coca-cola.

Well this is a cheesy low budgeter with the typical Valentin Trujillo movie with violence, sex related humor, and light exploitation.

Watch if only if you are a fan of Trujillo who by the way, delivers a serious dramatic performance.

Kudos for him. The rest of the movie is low quality. Also, expect stupid comical situations that were uncalled for in a movie that deals with a serious issue and pain in Mexican society.
