Take Quentin Tarantino, John Woo, and Robert Rodriguez. Add a dash of Alfred Hitchcock and you have “MTY Extremo,” a stylish thriller from Marcelino Calzada, one of the hot new generation of Mexican filmmakers.
Marcos Puentes has finally been able to take his long-planned vacation. But what should have been an ideal R & R junket to Monterrey turns out to be a nightmare of epic proportions when Marcos is mistaken for a big-time crime boss, who also happens to be a murder suspect. Squeezed to extremes by opposite sides of the law, Puentes must make a mad and dangerous scramble not only to clear his name, but to also keep from getting whacked.
