The term \"Latin American action cinema\" may sound contradictory to many, even almost utopian; or at least that is how it seemed until the arrival of Ernesto Díaz Espinoza, who since his first film, \"Kiltro\", and throughout an extensive filmography, has given a fair place to genre cinema in our region. His cinema draws from many sources: martial arts, superheroes in \"Mirageman\", or exploitation flicks in \"Mandrill\" or \"Bring me the Head of the Machine Gun Woman\". But these films go beyond mere tribute; They are also due to the characteristics and idiosyncrasies of his country. A reinterpretation of certain elements closer to the Latin American feeling. This is how Díaz Espinoza\'s universe - one of cool criminals, fierce fighters, and women at arms - becomes one that operates under his own rules, a genre on its own. A talent worth discovering under a flurry of kicks and punches or a hail of bullets.
