Days of Grace

An adrenaline-driven thriller, Everado Gout’s film interweaves three World Cup tournaments between 2002 and 2010 and the lives of a cop, a drug-dealer-turned-henchman, and actor’s wife and her maid. Central to each story is the murky underworld of Mexico City’s criminal fraternity and how it impacts the lives of ordinary Mexicans. With its strong palette, throbbing score and breakneck speed, Days of Grace is an impressive thrill ride.
