Sub terra

As other posters have commented the movie is simply a bad movie, and in my view it is due to the direction not being up to the challenge.

There are just so many things wrong about it. Let's just mention a couple: How could they not include a shot inside the mine's elevator, to convey its depth and danger? Even the music languishes through the entire story, it has no theme. Not to mention that terrible, out-of-tune song for the final credits, totally out of context.

If they cut the movie up in little pieces it would make a pretty good soap opera. But a film? This is not.

Fortunately it is not a reflection of Chilean cinema. Don't miss "Machuca", or "La Fiebre del Loco" if you can find it.
