Sin Nombre is a one of those movies that dares you to turn it off. It's set mostly in Mexico about a young woman from Honduras named Sayra and a young Mexican man from Chiapas named Casper. The first half of the movie takes turns telling their stories until their paths cross. Sayra is riding on the top of a freight train on her way to New Jersey and Casper is running away from his gang trying to escape almost certain death.
Rather than going into details about the movie I'll just set out the criteria for who probably will and won't like this movie. If you like suspenseful, gritty, and violent movies this is for you. If you also like seeing people perservere through very difficult situations you'll enjoy it even more. If you you're turned off by tattoes, blood, and brutality, you'll hate it.
My wife and I were riveted by it and then afterward all we could say was how horrible it was. Kind of like the old ladies who complained about the bad food that was in such small portions, too.
