Miss Bala
It’s “Miss Congenitality” meets “Sicario” with a hint of “Taken” when a L.A. makeup artist Gloria (Gina Rodriguez) crosses the border to visit her best friend Suzu in Tijuana. Gloria becomes trapped between a rock & a hard place when Suzu gets kidnapped & Gloria must try to find her. This “Jane the Virgin” is caught in the crossfire as a mule for the drug cartel, a mole for the DEA, & the beauty pageant prize for a crooked chief of police. With no one to trust, Gloria must summon up her own inner strength & cunning to save herself & her friend. Based on a Mexican film, director Catherine Hardwicke has crafted an entertaining though somewhat predictable action flick. Anthony Mackie has an small, almost cameo, role.
Alien gives it 3 “does whatever is needed to survive” stars out of 4.
