File of Attempted Murder, a 2010 film, dives into a lesser-known chapter of Mexican history, exploring the chaotic atmosphere of 1897. The film’s pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer as it unfolds the motivations behind a dipsomaniac's failed assassination of General Porfirio Diaz. The performances are raw, reflecting the desperation and anger of a man at odds with the world around him. The historical context is vividly portrayed, grounding the drama in a time of political unrest. Practical effects are used sparingly, enhancing the realism rather than overshadowing the narrative. It’s an intriguing mix of personal struggle and national turmoil, giving a unique lens into the complexities of that era’s conflicts.
