Isabela Merced, meanwhile, makes for a positive addition. Some parts of the story are more interesting than others, e.g. the bits directly with Elijah Rodriguez's Miguel aren't all that noteworthy.

It does set the atmosphere really well, sound-wise it's good - except for that one amusing (unintentionally, granted) use of 'girl scr...
