jaymistry-64120 Movie is so awful and so fucking long...don't watch this piece of shit! around one-third part of movie is dedicated to a dog who is stuck below floor...and this movie doesn't make sense at all...after watching it I was like what the hell was the meaning of this movie!

Red_Identity No. I mean, Inarritu has made sentimental, overly melodramatic films before, but he really goes overboard with this. It seems like his only intent is to tug our heartstrings and our anxiety and our thrills, and the first act just comes off incredibly contrived. The second act is better, with the couple, but it still is on-the-nose. The performances aren't the problem really (most of the time, sometimes some actors also overdo it, but one really needs to blame the material). The third act is by far the best and actually a pretty good, solid, effective piece of work with some great themes and the reason I don't entirely dislike the film. It was enough to not completely dismiss the entire film.

CinemaClown Alejandro Gonzáles Iñárittu's feature film debut is a masterwork of outstanding direction, terrific writing & fabulous performances which, thanks to its ingeniously layered & cleverly narrated story, commences his directional career on a rousing high while also succeeding as one of world cinema's finest films to surface on the silver screen at the turn of the new millennium.Amores Perros is a three segment story interconnected by a car accident. First segment concerns a young man who enters the world of dog fighting for easy money in order to start a new life with his sister-in-law. Second segment is about a supermodel & covers her life after the near- fatal accident, and the final segment involves a mysterious vagrant wandering the streets of Mexico City.Directed by Gonzáles Iñárritu, the film is the first instalment in his Trilogy of Death and where its real strength lies is in the cut-throat fashion in which it grabs the viewers' attention from its opening moments & never lets go until the very end. Written by Guillermo Arriaga, the screenplay is a work of quality in itself, for each event is thoroughly refined & the characters are carefully fleshed-out.Cinematography makes extensive use of hand-held cameras & provides a raw, gritty look to the whole narrative. Editing is deftly carried out for each segment is emotionally gripping & steadily paced. Gustavo Santaolalla's score & other incorporated songs nicely compliment the story, and its entire cast chips in with a stellar performance which ends up further elevating its overall impact.On an overall scale, Amores Perros is a brutal reflection of love, loss, loyalty, betrayal, revenge, regret & hope, expressed through its characters' dilemma in a highly compelling manner, which also offers an insight into the different sections of Mexican society. This instant classic may not be an easy sit for few due to its disturbing content but for its remorseless take on the fragility of life, this essential cinema comes strongly recommended.

Johan Dondokambey The movie serves the viewers with three sub-stories which don't really correlate. It opens up strongly with a sequence that serves as an anchor for all those sub stories. But the anchor isn't the only congruency point this movie uses. There are other quite meaningless rendezvous where the focus characters, who don't really know each other, meet and don't really share any line of dialog. But those smaller rendezvous serve well as time anchors, helping the viewers understand the timings of each scene. The stories also come very strong. Focusing on different backgrounds for each story, They each reveal themselves full of varied surprises and twists, although some of them are fairly predictable. The acting overall is just another decent effort. It sure is not really this movie's strongest point. But again, the story and the general story flow alone should suffice to make this movie good entertainment.
