Critics Consensus: Miss Bala's subject is loaded enough, but the frantic and muscular filmmaking puts this movie in a whole new league.

Katherine Monk

Hardwicke loads the barrel with everything any feminist action fan could hope for, but Miss Bala splatters shotgun-style, with fragments of narrative shrapnel piercing every scene, without hitting any specific dramatic targets.

The costumes are the key.

Naranjo puts on a master class in aesthetic storytelling where the substance equals the style, careful not to allow the film's large-scale action sequences to threaten to glorify the real-life exploits that inspired the story.

Once again, world cinema has demonstrated that a big budget and a well-known cast are not necessarily what is needed to make great cinema.

Except for its disappointingly tapered ending, Miss Bala... is an impressive, anxiety-ridden crime drama that can join the ranks of some of the best in its genre, from two of Mexico's best talents.
