El Caracazo is simply a brief part made to fiction of what it was the 27F (februeary 27) to us venezuelans, it tales the story of what happen that day but doesn't come even close to what that day really was. the movie is bad, i mean there's bad scrip, terrible acting, terrible editing, terrible cinematography, terrible sound but it worth the way to see it if you want to know a little bit more of the 27F. I think that the fact that the movie doesn't work it's the scrip and the story.Personally i found really unnecessary the love story that develops in the movie between the 2 title characters, it does not focus enough in the "voicot" events which i think were really poor laking of extras and drama. whoever this movie does fulfill its target that is show us what happen to Venezuela after the events of 27. If you wanna know what happens next you may wanna see "amanecio de golpe" which is pretty much a sequel to this movie (even though el caracazo was release 7 years after the other movie was made)but i still think that the plot of the whole 27f was a great material to turn into a master piece of Venezuelan cinema, but the just ruined. my vote is 8
