Plot

Adapted by writer/director Fernando Sariñana from the stories by Juan Madrid, Ciudades Oscuras (Dark Cities) tells a story of interwoven lives in the seedy underbelly of Mexico City.

Sinekatalog’s take

Interwoven lives play out in the seedy underside of a vast Mexican capital, adapted from a crime writer's stories. The tone is gritty and fatalistic. A solid choice for fans of urban noir with a social conscience.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
