SYNOPSIS: The dramatic, action-packed follow-up to LA SOGA, brings us back to former hitman Luisito Valerio, aka “La Soga”, who has settled into a new peaceful, small-town life with his girlfriend Lia. Life could not be sweeter… After his girlfriend goes missing, Luisito soon discovers that his newfound happiness is only temporary, as his past comes back to haunt him. He ventures down a road that puts him at war with a long list of enemies, including vicious hitmen, a corrupt federal agent, and a vengeful and cunning femme-fatale Colombian Assassin.
La Soga 2 hurtles us headlong into a world in which mayhem can erupt anywhere and at any moment. As an actor, Perez imbues his protagonist with a distinctive woundedness that, even before Luisito’s life is turned upside down, hints at a deep internal schism, while as director he proves himself a deft orchestrator of adrenaline-charged set pieces sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. – DIANA SANCHEZ / TIFF
