Sinopsis(1)
Sayra (Paulina Gaitán) es una adolescente hondureña que sueña con un futuro mejor. Al reunirse con su padre, al que no veía desde hacía mucho, Sayra tiene una opción: puede ir con su padre y su tío a México, y de allí, a Estados Unidos, donde su padre tiene una nueva familia. Por otro lado, Casper, al que también llaman Willy (Edgar Flores), es un adolescente de Tapachula, México, con un futuro más que incierto. Forma parte de la banda Mara Salvatrucha y acaba de llevar un nuevo recluta a sus hermanos, El Smiley (Kristyan Ferrer), de doce años, al que hacen pasar por una brutal iniciación. El Smiley no parece tener problemas en adaptarse a la vida de la banda. Casper intenta proteger la relación con su chica, Martha Marlene (Diana García), escondiéndola de los Mara. Pero cuando Martha conoce a Lil' Mago (Tenoch Huerta Mejía), el líder de los Mara en Tapachula, es brutalmente arrebatada de Casper para siempre. Sayra y su familia se unen a otros emigrantes en la estación ferroviaria de mercancías de Tapachula. Esperan que pase un tren de mercancías con destino a Estados Unidos para subirse encima de los vagones. Pero lo mismo hace Lil' Mago, que ha mandado a Casper y a El Smiley a atracar a los emigrantes. Al alba, Lil' Mago descubre sus cartas y Casper toma una decisión que cambiará su vida. Deberá navegar entre las enseñanzas de su violenta vida y la venganza de los Mara, pero encontrará una aliada inesperada en la valiente Sayra, que se unirá a él mientras el tren cruza el campo mexicano, camino de una nueva esperanza.

The premise of this film was utterly unattractive, I just don’t like stories about poor people from the backwoods, especially when they are in love. I ignored it at the cinema two years ago, but what finally convinced me to watch it is the interesting way Fukunaga had approached Jane Eyre. The resulting impression is just as I expected: mixed. It’s a very well made film, but its plot and the realistic portray of Mexico, gangs and Honduran refugees didn’t attract me at all.

Clean, honest, and balanced between Gomorrah-style documentary slaughter and sensitively rendered melodrama. The word riveting doesn't come into play here, but Fukunaga's debut is still a very strong and distinctive film with a very powerful message about the state of the world.

If “When, where and what happens to whom" weren’t so clearly pre-determined from the very start, then it wasn’t far away from giving the “western" viewer a similarly hard slap as the work of José Padilha has over the past few years, specifically for instance City of God.

Latin America, with its exotic nature, ethnic and cultural diversity, enormous social contrasts, and complex political situation, has always fascinated me - even with all its controversial phenomena and extremes. Sin Nombre is a social drama and at the same time a crime story set in the infamous world of gangs that defy Central European notions of organized crime with their size, cruelty, and influence. The most influential gangs, such as Mara Salvatrucha or 18, have well over one hundred thousand members and control neighborhoods in several American cities. Sin Nombre can be linked with watching the excellent documentary La Vida Loca. I consider it ideal to watch both films at the same time. Director Fukunaga has the ability to capture the social reality of everyday life and the atmosphere of the outskirts of Latin American cities. The cinematography is brilliant, and the actors are cast perfectly in their roles. I have no reason to complain about anything regarding this film. Overall impression: 90%.
