It is a story that has aroused great controversy, as that story tells about Carlitos, a seventeen-year-old boy with a swaggering Star movie, blond curls and a baby face. When he was a young child, he aspired to the things of others and perhaps that would change things later. The events have changed just as Carletus recognizes a young man named Ramon in his new school, drawn directly to Carlitos. Both agree to take on new criminal experiences through murder, robbery, violence and others. Perhaps it will eventually be the entry of Carlitos to jail at an early age.
The movie is made with skill, but it's so relentless in backing away from any psychologizing or moralizing - or just about anything else that might give us a handle on what makes this monster tick - that it finally feels like an empty horror show.
The full story has been sacrificed in the service of maintaining the balance between horror and fascination. And Ferro really has created a fascinating screen character.
Although the characters aren't sympathetic, the film benefits from stylish period visuals, subtle treatment of its homoerotic subtext, and charismatic performances.
Ortega has a real eye for flashy, chaotic set pieces and a real ear for excellent Latin rock needle drops on the film's killer Scorsese-inspired soundtrack.
At one point, a filmmaker must draw a line in the sand so his audience knows how to react. This movie dances across such a line until it is no longer there.
