Sin Nombre has so many "oh sh**" moments, something that almost every screenplay needs to have it in a very seamless yet credulous fashion. Its only when the protagonist is under such dire circumstances that one feels for them to escape, one feels the need to rush to them to help, one wants to empathize - Sin Nombre had some amazing sequences shot on the train rooftops and some of them shot at night, quite a wonderful feat to achieve. The music, the story and the characters if described in one word than it would be: haunting. They will haunt you forever! what happened to Paulina later?
"There is bitter and breathtaking truth in the story and in the story- telling, which won Fukunaga the directing and cinematography award in the dramatic competition at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year in 2009. He rode the trains for days himself before making the movie, and in "Sin Nombre," he pulls you up there alongside him. " quoted from the LA times.
Highly recommended.
And oh did I forget to mention, the music composer happens to be Clint Mansell!
