About El Gato Negro
The turbulent life of a drug trafficker wanted by the border patrol and women. A man who seems to have 7 lives, all of them with bloody violence.
Directed by Rafael Pérez Grovas, El Gato Negro leans on a strong ensemble — Roberto Guinar, Carmen Cardenal, Maribel Guardia — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1987.
