Info

When a worker is found murdered on the construction side, the investigation swiftly turns from things criminal to the political circumstances surrounding the building itself. Widespread corruption and neglect by the builder himself are seen to have brought the situation about. Much of the movie is filmed using hand-held cameras, and the majority of the dialogue is in the difficult-to-understand and very slangy Spanish dialect of Mexico City's bricklayers.

The Bricklayers Audience Reviews

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
omardelvalle_2000 This classic Mexican Movie show us, the classic lifestyle of the Mexican construction workers in the middle 70's. This story begins with the police investigation of the murder of the night watcher worker ( Ignacio Lopez Tarso). During the police investigation. It's possible to see, the corruption, the robberies, the act's of infidelity, the envy and the badly treatment that the workers received from the overseers. You can see a lot of great Mexican actors working in this movie. Sometimes you can hear a lot of bad language, but the real goal is to portray the real situation that this people were living in that time. The police never catch the real assassin, the viewer must use it's criterion and imagination to recognize the real guilty, for that reason it contains certain mystery. I recommend this picture to watch and analyze it.
