The Black Minutes

In the late 1970s, a group of young cops lead by ex-musician turned detective Vicente Rangel will face the darkest minutes of their lives while attempting to catch a serial killer of young girls in a corrupt oil town in the Gulf of Mexico.

Directed by Mario Muñoz, The Black Minutes leans on a strong ensemble — Leonardo Ortizgris, Kristyan Ferrer, Enrique Arreola — 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 crime titles of 2021.
