- Synopsis:
- At its heart, a love story between two lost boys, 'I Promise You Anarchy' manages to be at once chilling and heart-rending. Miguel, from a middle-class family, and Johnny, from a humble barrio, are skateboarders, are best friends and lovers. To finance their lifestyle, they sell their own blood, and those of their gang of skateboarders and acquaintances, to clandestine clinics, until a big delivery job for the mafia goes wrong. Echoing the laid back eroticism of Gus Van Sant at his most playful, with shades of a modern-day neo-noir, this visually arresting film is a sumptuous and occasionally chilling journey into the illicit underbelly of Mexico s capital.

Boring, pointless - I Promise You Anarchy review by SF
I struggled to care about these characters. They just came across as annoying and tedious. A missed opportunity to reflect what’s happening in Mexico.

Skateboarders Dream - I Promise You Anarchy review by WH
If you fancy 88 minutes of watching young Mexican guys skateboarding- then this movie is for you. To sum it up - impoverished youth in Mexico City skateboarding. Hardly riveting viewing!!!!
