¨Padilla writes perfectly within the demands of the genre and tells the story with varied doses of emotion. He creates a corrupt and semi-dark Mexico City, where the victims are simple and have an unexpected ending… where fame and membership won´t cut it even for the groups with power. ¨ El Universal
