El Infierno

El Infierno, directed by Luis Estrada, tells the story of Benjamin García, a Mexican man who returns to his homeland after being deported from the United States. Upon his arrival, Benny is met with a bleak reality - a world that is vastly different from the one he left behind. With no job prospects and a struggling economy, Benny finds himself at a crossroads. In an effort to turn his fortunes around, Benny gets involved in the drug trade, a decision that will have far-reaching consequences for him and those around him. As he becomes embroiled in this dark underworld, Benny experiences a world of violence, corruption, and desperation. As Benny navigates the treacherous landscape of the drug cartel, he is forced to confront his own mortality and the harsh realities of life in Mexico. He must also contend with the corrupt authorities who are often complicit in the cartel's illegal activities. Throughout El Infierno, Benny's story serves as a powerful commentary on the human condition. Despite being a flawed and troubled individual, Benny is driven by a desire to survive and thrive in a world that seems determined to crush him. Through his journey, the film sheds light on the struggles faced by deported immigrants and the devastating consequences of Mexico's drug war. With its unflinching portrayal of violence and corruption, El Infierno presents a scathing critique of the social and political systems that perpetuate these issues. The film's title, which translates to "Hell," is apt given the bleak and unforgiving world that Benny inhabits. As he navigates the treacherous landscape of drug cartels and corrupt authorities, Benny must confront his own personal demons and fight for survival in a world that seems determined to destroy him.
