Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The Couchpotatoes Sin Nombre tells the story of an Honduran girl Sayra, played by Paulina Gaitan, that tries to better her life without future by trying to go to her family in New Jersey. The route is not without danger, as she travels with the Mexican gang member Willy, played by Edgar Flores. It's confrontating to watch how those gang members have about no morals and their way of life, or survive, is just honoring the gang by killing and thieving. The gang members are been recruted at a very young age and from then on it's a spiral downwards. With their homemade guns, called chimbas, their very recognizable tattoos, you get an inside look on how those gang members live. It's absolutely not far from reality and that's what makes Sin Nombre good. A hard life but a good movie to watch.

thmurphy-37414 Sin Nombre is a beautifully filmed movie that involves gangs and Immigration. The movie starts off with a gangster named Casper, who has tattoos representing his role in the gang. Not having a family causes him to grow up with the gang and grow dependent on them. Later, he involves his brother, Smiley, in the gang, following the harsh beating for initiation into the gang. To fully become a member of the gang, one must kill a member of the opposing gang. Then the story line moves over to the main female character named Sayra. She has grown up not knowing her dad, until he has decided to take Sayra, her brother, and uncle to America. They begin the process by getting on a train from Honduras to Mexico. *SPOILER* After Casper kills the main leader of the gang, Lil' Mago, for killing Casper's girlfriend, Martha, the entire gang is hunting after him. Calling anyone they have connections to, and following him all the way to the border after he hops on the same train Sayra is on. They slowly become friends, which I thought was a little awkward at first, and then very heart-warming as Sayra jumps off of the train after Casper does. I thought that was a very horrible decision on Sayra's part, but it turns out she had the better outcome than her family. Casper and Sayra squeeze by and somehow made it to the border, which was very surprising. If anyone watches this movie, they will be very surprised by what the physical border between the states and Mexico actually is. It is a river, and nothing else besides patrol cars passing each spot every hour or so. ***SPOILER*** Casper gives up his camera to the man with the tube that will carry each one to the other side separately, which proves his connection to Sayra even more as that camera is all he has left of his deceased girlfriend. The gang catches up to them and Casper runs away to protect Sayra from them. Casper runs into his brother smiley, and he shoots him due to the gangs influence. The one thing that is different about movies filmed outside the United States, there is no happy ending. The only happy part was when Sayra made it to the United States and called her Aunt. I thought is was an eye opener to movies outside the United States, and to know that a movie can end without a happy ending is very different. Overall Sin Nombre is a must see movie. You will not be disappointed.

drhupp I personally enjoyed this movie a lot as it was my first viewed international film. I liked how the director was able to show us what gangs might actually be like in these Central American countries and how they are spread out throughout the continent. Willy seemed to be getting tired of the gang life, and when the La Mara leader killed his girlfriend, Willy was tipped over the edge. Willy then proceeds to kill the leader of the La Mara which basically turns him into a dead man because every La Mara person is coming after him. I thought that this would be very uncommon of a gang member killing another "brother" because they all treat each other like family. At the end of the film, I didn't really enjoy seeing Willy getting shot by Smiley. I would've rather liked to see Willy to escape with Sayra and cross the creek, making it to America to start a new life.

Elinor This film is an international film, and once you start watching it you can already tell that the whole movie is not in English, but rather in Spanish, and this is what makes it so captivating to watch. The film is not like most American films that people are used to watching, most American films end with a happy ending or the protagonist in the film ends up having a great life at the end of the film, sometimes even better than before. What makes international films so intriguing is that it is different, but different in a unique and special way. If I had to describe the setting of this film it would be depressing, and violent. I really enjoyed how the film showed daily life in Central America, and how Spanish speaking peoples are affected by gangs. The characters in this film is what made the movie so intriguing to watch, the way they showed their feelings throughout the film, and the way they acted, is what made the movie realistic to similar life situations . This film does include some sexual contact, blood/violence, so if this is not what you prefer to watch, then this film is not the right choice for you. I believe Sin Nombre was a really great film, because it got it's point across, and you can really see what's going on in Central America, and learn about something that you weren't aware of before, or knew of but didn't know how it affects people in Central America . I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars
