    I enjoyed the premise and how it is portrayed

    A good watch, is 'The Initiated'.

    Andrés Parra, particularly, and Aria Jara add positive performances to this Colombian flick from 2023, one that sets up an interesting story. I enjoyed the premise and how it is portrayed, I would've liked a bit more background on why the world is the way it is but overall it's done well. Visually speaking, it looks nice too.

    Interesting seeing who was involved in this production, which can be found via Prime Video. Here's how are seen onscreen: Andrés Parra Aria Jara Juan Pablo Urrego Jorge Cao Francisco Denis Victoria Hernández Julio Pachón Jefferson Quiñones José Restrepo Silvia Varón Santamaría Patricia Tamayo Ana Wills. Credit to 'em.
