GRIM, BUT SOLID


Smuggling drugs from Latin America to the USA was a subject of several movies, some of them now classics (i.e. ”Scarface”), but rarely in an indie production that gives more liberty to movie makers to tell the story as it is, without any compromises or PG ratings restrictions.

”Maria full of Grace” follows young and pretty girl on her voyage from Columbia to the States as a drug ”mule” that swallows packages of cocaine only smuggle them across the customs on the airports.

Nausea and repulsion are there all along the way, as well as the sympathy for the characters. However, the grittiness succumbs in the second part of the movie, leaving the opportunity for a bit corny happy ending.


”Maria full of Grace” is an important lesson for everyone desperate enough to enter drug smuggling business and a solid indie flick.
