Rodents

About This Movie

Rodents, directed by Sebastián Cordero, dives into the gritty underbelly of crime with a raw, almost claustrophobic atmosphere. The film centers on Salvador, a naive young thief whose life spirals out of control thanks to his cousin Angel, a manipulative ex-con. It’s not just about heists or the adrenaline of the crime world; it’s about family ties and the desperation that drives people to make reckless choices. The pacing is sharp, pulling you into the tension with every twist. Performances are solid, capturing the complexity of their characters – you can almost feel Salvador’s suffocation as he gets deeper into this chaotic world. The practical effects, though not overly flashy, ground the film in a sense of realism that complements its dark themes.
