Summary: Not pulp fiction
Review: All I want to say is that i tire of everyone comparing this to Pulp Fiction soley based on the notion that it connects dissimiliar lives by one tragic event. I find nothing in common with hip,psuedo-mod hipster dialogue based on cruddy seventies films, with a movie that portrays the harshness of everyday Mexican life. This film explores love in its most harrowing and obsessed forms, Pulp Fiction does not. This film is always very realistic and dramatic. Pulp Fiction, again, is not. I try not to assume anything about anyone, but I'd reckon most of the people who compare this film to Pulp Fiction haven't seen the loads of other films that connect dissimiiar lives by one single event. It has been a common way of exploring lives in film format for some time. And putting that aside, the content of the film has nothing to do with Pulp Fiction. I'd also assume, again reluctantly, that many of the people who reviewed this as comparable to Pulp Fiction have not done much serious reading on Mexican culture. The only reason I am even stating my opinion is because if I had not already seen this film and came here to read reviews to see if it was worth buying I would probally lose interest based on the fact everyone compares it to Pulp Fiction. To compare these films is a dishonor to both , especially for the fact that this is one of the first high quality films that takes palce in Mexico I have seen in ages. Anyways, check out this movie if you are a fan of graphic film with an intense underlying message of deep love and its fragility told through the eyes of many and not few, and also if you are interested in seeing what most of urban mexico is really like.

Summary: not expeced fom Mexico
Review: This film is rejuvenating my hopes for a true "cinema" in a profoundly "movie" landscape,if you know what I mean. (...)
But I am very sincere here, I do not speak Spanish but I never failed to recommend "AMORES PEROS" to my friends who liked Ritchie's oeuvre. I only hope Madonna can stick it out with him and inspire him to produce some more isolationist hokey cinematic (...). (IT'S TOUGH TO READ THE SUBTITLES AFTER THE HIGH SCHOOL SABOTAGE.)

Summary: Brutally Honest - Life's tendency to disappoint
Review: I didn't know the movie when I watch it. Bang! It hit me hard. Life is a rough ride. Choices we made in life seems to be so right at the time we made them. Then, life has this tendency to disappoint. And how badly the characters were disappointed. I suppose this movie represents the majority of people's lives in this world. And not the sugar coated world by Hollywood. One up to the Mexicans. A must watch.

Summary: Intense, intelligent and intricate
Review: Sure, the multiple stories overlapping one another has been employed before. Yes, the theme of each individual story is not exactly one that has not been used repeatedly. However, the cohesiveness of this movie is nothing short of incredible. The ability of the first-time director to pull this off commands an immeasurable respect.The opening scene immediately grabs your attention and the rest of the movie sustains it. In the beginning, the movie cuts in and out of each of the different plotlines. It does enough to keep the viewers interested in all three stories before it has to elaborate on each and make these stories converge again towards the end. This is crucial and it is executed very well. Unlike 'Pulp Fiction' which hinges on the suspense as the events unfold, 'Perros' doesn't need to do that as it has three substantial stories that generate enough attention individually. Another aspect that deserves praise is its thematic consistency. This requires a very strong script and this one's got what it takes. How do you conjure up three interesting stories that touch upon love and dogs and tie them together while maintaining such consistency? A brilliant scriptwriter, an awesome script, and a perfect title. In many areas 'Traffic' failed (such as its inability to form a movie that is not a sum of all its parts), 'Perros' passes with flying colors. Soderbergh, eat your heart out. If you like 'Traffic' this one is definitely worth your attention. The DVD has a lot of extras, such as 'The Making of,' and a few music videos, some that I wish I see more regularly on foreign DVDs.

Summary: Gritty and provocative slice of humanity
Review: Though some Americans complain the film is a bit long, personally I thought the story passed by in no time at all. I am looking forward to future films by Inarritu, since this is only his directorial debut. The three stories that become intertwined, are not only believable but force you to contemplate them. And you actually feel for all the characters involved. This is simply a masterpiece of original film-making! There is quite a bit of violence here, but it has far more meaning and far less glamor than a lot of the violence generated by Hollywood.

Summary: Best of 2000/2001
Review: (5+ stars) If you are weak (lots of dog fights/dog blood in the first 45 minutes) please beware. This movie is the story of love and dogs, what people are willing to do for love, and how people are divinely punished for their choices in life. In the center of each story, a dog is integral, and that too represents a type of love. Three stories set in Mexico City from three different socioeconomic levels (arguably only two), the lives of the protagonists all meet in an intersection at an accident that radically affects their lives. How each person affected overcomes the impact of the accident is the moral to the story... I won't say more, but I will say that it is a VERY good film... It is very difficult (harrowing is my favorite word) especially in the beginning, and seeing someone's life realistically torn apart by an accident (not LITERALLY, just the injury) but I think the end is worth it, not just for the cinematography that lends the right weight to each element, but also to how the resolution to each story really forces you to think about what happened. I enjoy films that are engaging on that level, and while I may be reading into this (I don't think I am), I think that anyone who appreciates intelligent films will watch this more than once (you can put more pieces to-gether the second time around!) And the sound track is nice. I suggest it to anyone who can get past the first half hour/45 minutes. An A+++ film. P.S. I know, I just kept thinking about my poor little lovely dog getting torn limb from limb...but when I got home, there he was wagging his tail waiting for me!

Summary: Amor Es Perros
Review: Brutal! This movie has implied violence that lets your imagination get the better of you. It is about 3 different stories that eventually intertwine. Each story is believable, well told, and could easily happen to you or someone you know.

Summary: Amores Perros
Review: This was a very interesting movie. It was worth the wait, I had seen the reviews in Mexico and it looked like an interesting movie. It makes you realize that this is real, it does happen. All three stories in the end had something in commen the accident and the dogs. The only thing that I would warn is that the language content is very strong. When I bought the movie and watched it I could not believe the language they used.

Summary: Wow!, What a Ride......WooYaa!
Review: Excellent! Smack in your face no holds barred movie. Not for the faint of heart. Best movie I have seen in a long time. It's about people trying to find happiness in material things and how one incident can change so many lives. I totally loved this movie because it held nothing back yet expressed every emotion a human possesses. Great movie!
