Amores Perros is a well-acted well-crafted tale about three different groups of people that eventually collide in a car crash. The first is about a lonely man who tries to make questionable money to help the abused young mother next door.... Full review

When I watched this I'll admit I thought it would be a low budget Mexican film. I was wrong! Great movie, wonderful acting for the most part. I feel it gave a somewhat unrealistic view of some of the charectors but... Full review

One of Inarritu's best films, Amores Perros shows an aspect of love that other films never touch: the fact that love can suck. We're so used to the idealized viewpoints of love, of how two people were fated to become lovers... Full review

The first and final thirds of this arresting Mexican film succeed in delivering all the shocks and jolts it intends.....Not the predictable movie variety, where the good guy fights for his life and the bad guy always fumbles.....Although seriously flawed in its middle, Amores Perros is still recommended viewing....The animal imagery isn't used solely for shock -....A curiously uninteresting middle section lets it down somewhat but not enough to prevent Amores Perros being a superior example of intense story ...

visually arresting Amores Perros is no shaggy dog story.....Following three generations of characters from opposing ends of Mexico City's social spectrum, this is a rough diamond of a movie -....His agile camerawork, masterly control of tone and unflinching eye for irony make Amores Perros one of the more eminent debuts of the decade.....Its interconnected plots may well revolve around pooches but the emotionally riveting.... ...

Amores Perros" is rated R for frequent use of strong profanity, graphic gore, violence (simulated dog fights, gunplay and a stabbing), simulated sex, use of crude sexual slang terms and brief female nudity.
Strangely enough, that experiment seems to have worked, and the final product is one of the more exhilarating movie thrillers of late.

that's what makes it so effective.....Its emotional characters and harsh images are not likely to be easily forgotten.....Amores Perros pulls no punches....Despite these flaws, Amores Perros manages to be a thoughtful film on the vices of blindly following the heart.....Yet, as the movie progresses, each story's respective protagonist fares better than the one before him..... ...

Amores Perros is a powerful film, full of intricate ideas and disturbing scenes.
I don't hate long movies; if the price is right, I prefer a long movie over a shorter, less elaborate one.
