How about the movie "Man of Fire", regardless of a person's feelings about Denzel Washington, this movie is an excellent depiction of Mexican government corruption.
Appreciate the heads up on that film; I’ll look for it. Have you seen Denzel in American Gangster? Based on a true story, an incredible portrayal of the drugs trade in Harlem during the Nam war.
Title of the movie is, “Man ON Fire” and while the movie takes place in Mexica, the real incident upon which the movie is based occurred in Italy.
