“Gloria finds a power she never knew she had when she is drawn into a dangerous world of cross-border crime. Surviving will require all of her cunning, inventiveness, and strength.”

From director Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Red Riding Hood), Miss Bala is a crime thriller that tells the story of a woman who finds the power she never knew she had when she is drawn into a dangerous world of cross-border crime. Hardwicke has proven she has a knack for directing but I am admittedly a bit cautious of the PG-13 rating for any film involving cross-border crime, but we will see how it goes. Check out the official trailer below!!

• Based on the 2011 Spanish-language film of the same name.
