the cinematic techniques were awesome on this film, lots of sepia tones mixed with good music to fit the scene in mexico. I liked how during the spanish to english translations certain words were emphasized with bold lettering and making them larger then others. All in all it's a gruesome fucking movie, with pretty much everyone involved people getting murdered in cold blood. Mix in another part torture, another part empathy for a little girl and you have one awesome revenge movie on your hands.
