This acclaimed crime-drama by Director Alejandro Galindo, (and co-directed by actor Jose Pulido, also one of this film's stars), is considered the prototypical example of "Cine Negra Mexicano, otherwise known as Mexican Film Noir, with a unique shadowy, black and white focus on its usual subjects-namely gangsters, cops, and good-girls-gone-bad. It tells the story of four gangsters who successfully ambush and rob a money transport vehicle, but not without killing its occupants in the process. After eluding the police, the quartet must hide out in the attic of a home belonging to one of their co-conspirator's mistresses. Their escape plans, nerves and fellowship all start to fracture, as the four must lie low in hot, cramped and dank conditions.
