I was born and raised in a small neighborhood in Guadalajara, Mexico; a place full of devoted Catholic Church fellows. But one day, many husbands had to face reality and beat up the local priest due to his avid trend to lie down wives. Ever since, many laic preachers used to claim that `Priests are still men, with weaknesses, so they deserve compassion.' My opinion is that if they are just plain men, they should stop playing sanctity. But being a catholic priest is no longer a vocation, it is a profession, a lucrative business.
But, who does not know it already?
Even so daring and `irreverent', this is by far, *not* the best movie about catholic church corruption affairs. For me this fact makes it overrated. Also, I have pointed out in many occasions that `highly acclaimed' (overrated?) Mexican movies seem to never miss one thing: naked breasts.
On the other hand, I never got the plot. I did not know if it was about drug dealing, gerrilla, sex under votes of chastity, money laundry, illegal abortion, fanatism, a failing love story, or getting away with sin (not crime) if this movie was all that about, well, I did not find any connection either, so I was awfully bored
My IMDB rating: 7.
