The script for Mexicali feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.
“Not even a post-credits scene could save this.”

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Mexicali.

Mexicali: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Hot Take: Mexicali's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the Mexicali performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Mexicali actually is?
Look, I wanted to love Mexicali. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Mexicali?
Rewatched Mexicali last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
