MCT:January 11, 2008I saw this movie a couple of days ago and I'm still thinking about it.It starts off with a really instense scene that almost makes you want to cover your eyes and scream. The movie is about John Leguizamo who plays a reporter that is trying to cover and investigate about a pedophiliac serial killer. Leguizamo's acting is okay but the actor who steals the spotlight is Damian Alcazar.

John L. shows us he can do pretty good w/ his Spanish....Alfred Molina though, he fits the part of the tv announcer fine, but gotta work on that accent! I didn't expect the serial killer slant to figure that much in to the movie....you could see what the deal was from a mile away, a little too predictable I thought but at least you had to keep guessing how the whole media and law enforcement/prison thing would play out, and how the "bystanders" would react to this game being played by the news media and the Ecuadorian police.

You'd expect it to be a murder mystery. But the thing is (I can't quite decide whether it's good or bad), 'Crónicas' is more a case of 'Is it him, or is it not?' than 'Which one is it?'. To say it more clearly, there is only one clear suspect, but the goal of the movie is to find out if he really is the 'Monster of Babahoyo'.
It's subtitled, but you won't notice that as time goes by. John Leguizamo shows off a little more than his acting talent. A plus, in my opinion. -

Hectic to watch and interesting to see how far self presevation will take a person in manipulating the truth to suit there own needs and to cover up mistakes. Leaves you asking who the true ?Monstruo? is. Watch it and consider how you would have and how you have reacted to situations where you encounter "moral crossroads" .

Una representacion muy apegada de como logro escapar un asesino en serie, enganiando a los reporteros que sospechaban de su culpabilidad, pero querian la gran noticia.

Dug it. I'm a fan of foreign films, and this one wasn't a was well worth the time. An interesting take on journalism in another country.

MCT:December 28, 2006Hard to watch at times. Gripping. The ending is shocking beyond belief. One of John Leguizamo's best movies ever.

John is good in this
A very good story and shot very well
It keeps you interested the whole way through and you feel for all the characters
Check out the alternate ending i thought that was a very good way to end the movie -
MCT:June 8, 2006This one is okay but predictable. I don't get the relationship between the reporters. Just wanted a quicky??
