There are so many things wrong with this movie, where to start.
Character development is almost zero, they tried but failed. The dialogs seem very forced and out of pace, quality of the recorded voices is awful, I couldn't understand some parts. The story line has no point, nor objective.
If Fabian found a place to have work, get paid, have food, a roof, a lovely grandfather. Why did he leave after reading his father's letters? To do what in the city? He left the old man sick by himself. Why him and friends went to the place they were exposed knowing 2 of them were in risk of being killed? I doesn't make any sense at all.
There were so many scenes that made no sense from the 'real life in a poor area of Medellin' also from the perspective of a good script.
The rap battle scenes made no contribution to the film, just pointing out something like Fabian couldn't keep up with the battles due to sad memories and trauma?
So what happened with his father? A secret the director wouldn't want the public to know.
I wasted my time, I rolled my eyes too many times. I do not recommend this movie to anyone.
