The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This movie is from Francisco Athié, who also directed "Lolo", where I think he did a better job. Because "Fibra Optica" is strange, between experimental and art film, but even when I am getting tired of seeing the same faces over and over in almost every single Mexican movie or foreign movies shot in México (Roberto Sosa, Angelica Aragon, Pedro Armendariz Jr), I got distracted by the plot and thought this was somewhat original and interesting... I still stand Lumi, and her role here is a very nice one. I felt like I was in there, right in the middle of the killings, and then seeing how we uncover a huge net of corruption and lies. Athié proves that to make movies with a different ''feeling'' you just have to feel like doing them. Regardless of the budget. Where there's a will, there's a way...

Another mexican movie that shows the Mexico we don´t want anymore. Without any doubt it is one of the best mexican movies ever made. Francisco Athie directs this craft in which Lumi Cavazos -´Como Agua Para Chocolate´- performs a character tender and strong at the same time. A political assassination plot is told here and investigated by a young male looser journalist.Magnificent use and manage of the so called ´emotional movie´ since it has a scene at the end of it that lasts about 5 min. set in a storm.
