This may have been my first time seeing a movie from Paraguay, but either way it was pretty good thanks to some talent behind and in front of the camera. The story is pretty simple, just revolving around a young delivery boy tasked to take 7 boxes with him, which are to be delivered at a later time and location. Unfortunately for the boy (thanks to greed and several idiotic characters) things become much more complicated, eventually resulting in a bunch of people coming after the boy and the merchandise.
The movie that best came to my mind while watching this was the 1998 Tom Tykwer film Run Lola Run, mostly due to the fast pace and high intensity of several scenes, along with focusing on a central area with key characters that all revolve around each other in one form or another. Definitely a film to check out if you're looking for a good fast-paced thriller that's set in and around an uncommon and incredibly foreign setting. 7/10
