Review :

Decent adaptation of a literary masterpiece

I don't know why the rating for this movie is so low.Why did you,other 4 people, rated this so low? I think it does a good work adapting Dosteievsky's best known book (and one of my favorite novels) .You may think the movie simplifies the book, but in spite of that I think it's true to the novel's main theme.I think they made a good effort in recreating the atmospheres the Russian master describes. I really liked the way the movie ends, with Ramón, the Mexican Raskolnikov, simply saying "I killed" as he enters the police station.Finally, if it's true that this film is far from movie masterpieces from that era like "Los olvidados"; I believe it's still outstanding into it's Mexican golden age of movies context.
