Few films truly earn the adjective "relentless," but Gerardo Naranjo's "Miss Bala," about the encounter of a would-be beauty queen with a cartel and her struggles to survive the ensuing, violent 48 hours, reaches almost unbearable levels of tension. Naranjo composes his film with impeccably choreographed single takes keeping Laura, the protagonist, in the center of the action at all times, thus throwing the viewer into the maelstrom right alongside her.
