Der 18-jährige Mexikaner El Casper ist seiner Gang, der berüchtigten 'Mara Salvatrucha', treu ergeben. Der Tod seiner großen Liebe, für den er deren Anführer Lil' Mago verantwortlich macht, ändert dies schlagartig. Bei einem Überfall auf einen Zug, der mit Flüchtlingen aus Mittelamerika Richtung USA unterwegs ist, rettet er der jungen Sayra das Leben - indem er Lil' Mago tötet. Aus Dank und Zuneigung schließt sich Sayra El Casper an, doch die Rachsucht der 'Mara Salvatrucha' ist den beiden bereits auf den Fersen. (ORF)

Sauber, ehrlich, ausgewogen zwischen dokumentarischem Gemetzel im Stil von Gomorrha und einfühlsam dargestelltem Melodram. Das Wort fesselnd kommt hier zwar nicht ins Spiel, aber Fukunagas Debüt ist dennoch ein sehr starker und unverwechselbarer Film mit einer sehr starken Botschaft über den Zustand der Welt.

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.

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.

I’m not all that familiar with Cary Fukunaga’s work, I've only seen Beasts of no Nation, and Sin Nombre is a similarly themed film, also featuring kids from a gritty setting. Mexico, refugees and Mexican gangs is quite a hot topic, so the very interesting story with some gritty scenes, especially the finale, is very intense and unexpected. I'm satisfied I had fun. 80%.

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%.
