In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

An excellent hidden gem from writer/director Luis Estrada that won over 20 awards.The Mayor of San Pedro loses his head while trying to abscond with the town's money, so the party puts in a figurehead (Damián , - Crónicas, The Crime of Father Amaro) until the elections.Soon, he figures out the way of politics and is enjoying the benefits - and they are hot benefits! Soon, he is killing his enemies and extorting money like the rest of them. Of course, he manages to rise through his evil as all politicians do.Alcázar was outstanding in this political satire, as was Salvador Sánchez, Guillermo Gil, and Isela Vega.

If you want to understand La Ley De Herodes you need to be aware of what the PRI was really on Mexico. First of all it began as a Party that unified the state after our famous and violent revolution the PRI unified Mexico, it started as a good cause but with time it degraded and became what we could see in the movie. At that time, I mean 1940 the Miguel Aleman period there wasn't a Party or force that opposite the PRI, because they control everyone, but they control everyone because they on their side the workers and peasants, because they supported them on their works allowing them to have their syndicates and supporting their demands. Now thats why I think we cant just go like "yes I think that La Ley De Herodes reflects perfectly how the PRI was" I repeat we have to understand the historical contest so that we can make an objective opinion.

I should say that this movie is one of the most boring I have ever seen. Sadly most of the mexican-weekend-cinema-goers this movie was better than anything. Luckily, the movie helped the mexican cinema, but not because of it's content, any movie from the 80´s (Valentín Trujillo for example) has much more content, cinematography idea, script, than this movie.If are in the mood for getting surprised or astonished, go and rent movies from the 80's or 70's, "La Ley de Herodes" besides making me feel bored, I also felt ashamed, sleepy and upset because of the money I paid for watching it.From 10, 5 points.

A most surreal movie, but VERY real, indeed. It depicts the sad political system in Mexico with lost of humor and excellent actors. I felt like crying and laughing all the time, a memorable piece worth the no-so-good photography. Hilarious ending.
