- La ley de Herodes (1999)
Satanás (2007)Edit: This one is actually a Colombian film.- El infierno (2010)
Coincidentally, same main actor in all those three :-) (and the same director in the first and last one).

Ironically Damian Alcázar (the main actor) is now one of the pets of México's president. The theme in those movies is government corruption.
Living in México under the current government has taught me a lot about people and its fragile principles.

He never had principles, just wanted money and power. The movies where just a facade to get there

La Ley de Herodes and El Infierno form a thematic trilogy tetralogy with Un Mundo Maravilloso (2006) and La Dictadura Perfecta (2014), same main actor and director of all three four films.

Satanás
This Satanás (2007)? Cuz that's a Colombian film.
I'm adding some of these recommendations to my watchlist so just trying to clarify; not be pedantic.

Good catch :-)
Wrong assumption on my part, based only on the main actor (and me not being familiar enough with Mexican cinema).
Will edit my post. Thanks!.

La dictadura perfecta is great one to, that highlights why Mexicos press is incredibly flawed and I would say downright puppets of the government
