Maria Full of Grace (2004)


Last night I watched Maria Full of Grace courtesy of NetFlix.

Maria is the story of a pregnant Columbian teenager who becomes a drug mule, smuggling narcotics into the US, to earn money for her family.

Long before Maria arrives in the US the movie's tension becomes harrowing, and had me squirming uncomfortably in my seat through to the end. The story has little to do with drugs and concentrates instead on Maria's character. Highly recommended.

IMDB User Rating: ********__ 7.7/10 (8,313 votes)
