Spoilers ahead
The film opens with a brisk montage of vintage black-and-white clips promoting tourism in Mexico City, then shifts to a dazzling, color-saturated portrait of the modern capital.
But that is not the Mexico City of today.
An older couple in a gated home is shown as the husband heads out to work, only to be kidnapped in a bold street ploy. News reports soon reveal that the president’s doctor has also been kidnapped and later murdered in a move by political opponents aiming to demonstrate that even high-ranking officials can’t be protected from the corruption within the police forces.
