Carlitos is a seventeen year old man who may be experiencing a painful experience in his life, where he decides to aspire to unusually powerful ambitions. Karlitus was a young man with curly hair and perhaps the meaning of innocence in his face, but one day he met a young man named Ramon, a smart young man who caught Carlitos' attention. Both young men have decided to fight more violence, robbery and murder until it finally turns into Carlitos to jail and may seem a tragic end to a young man at the age of Carlitos.
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.
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.
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.
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.
