DVD Reviews of Puerto Vallarta Squeeze
DVD Review: Post-traumatic stress syndrome, in rural Mexico, by a Vietnam Vet and CIA operative
Summary: 2 Stars
Puerto Vallarta Squeeze, is a dark, conspiracy-laden movie, telling
a story that seems somewhat over-worked (considering the author felt
the need to have one of the protagonists profession be that of a
famed book writer).
It will also probably be of interest mostly to military veterans,
who can relate to the post-traumatic stress syndrome that
characterizes literally 100's of thousands of former personnel in
the well documented conflicts of Vietnam, and some of former covert
operatives of the CIA, as played by Scott Glenn, in this picture.
Apart from the interesting filmed aspects of small-towns across
Northern Mexico, this picture also emphasizes its rural aspects and
abandoned villages, that obviously, are worlds apart from the major
Mexican cities or even, those of the USA, across the border. The
movie's action isn't entirely isolated, as the tourism hot spots are
also partly filmed, so the audience is able to see that the story
takes place in this day and age.
As said, apart from the psychological aspects that some may
appreciate, (the role being that of a burnt out, aging Vietnam vet,
turned CIA operative), the film also intertwines occasionally some
human aspects as well, such as the poverty of a segment of the
Mexican population, and the peasant beauty of the actress, played
intelligently, and charismatically by Giovanna Zacarias.
Surely, some may question the realism or even, the necessity of once
more bringing in the sterotype of Mexican women as maids, who are
easy to buy favors from, and of Mexican men as police officers, law
enforcement, some of which are "clearly" corrupt.
Harvey Keitel is brought in, to add some spice from time to time, in
the movie, and rescue it from a made-for-TV only stigma, that
otherwise might discourage DVD rental customers, or buyers. Kietel
only mostestly appears in the movie, and isn't given a chance to do
much with his role, or play out anything remotely close to the
powerful impact some of his previous movies allowed him to do.
The audio, music is acceptable, if not a bit repetitive, and the
classic score too identical to what we've heard 100's of times
before. This is mitigated with the flamenco guitar that is also
interspersed in the soundtrack, to emphasize the Mexican-ness of
this movie.
Overall, not a bad experience, but not something that people will
want to see a second time.
