Guerra Sangrienta

Three rival cartel groups wage war over control of the same territory, each determined to claim absolute power. Ruthless and unforgiving, they will eliminate anyone who stands in their way — no matter the cost or who falls in the crossfire. As threats extend to the police and personal vendettas fuel the violence, the conflict spirals beyond control. Revenge, ambition, and fear collide in a region on the brink of chaos. When a mysterious informant sets the stage for all factions to confront one another at a single location, tensions explode into an all-out confrontation that ignites a brutal and bloody war.

Directed by Alonso O. Lara, Guerra Sangrienta leans on a strong ensemble — Vianey Huizar, Luis Huizar, Jesus Heredia El Gatillo — 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 screen titles of 2016.
