....or just because it sucks?
This is the German trailer for the film, which ended up going straight to DVD here in the U.S.
At the premiere of the film at the Berlin Film Festival last year, a presumably international audience, the film about the killing of women in Ciudad Juarez, was booed.
Writer Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez feels that the film is a victim of anti-Latino sentiment based in large part in anti-immigrant sentiment.
I haven't seen the film, so I can't comment on if this is another J-Lo bomb or if something deeper is going on.
