El Abogado Del Diablo

2013

A grim, slow-burning revenge tale where corruption feels inescapable and every move is met with a trap.

Directed by: Alonso O. Lara
Starring: Elias Hernandez, Luis Huizar, Jesus Heredia El Gatillo

Overview: Cesar and his uncle Marco are determined to avenge the death of Cesar’s father, who was killed by the sons of a corrupt lawyer acting under their father’s orders to secure control of his assets. As Cesar and Marco begin seeking justice, the lawyer anticipates their move and sets a calculated trap. Framing Los Ramirez, he orchestrates their arrest to eliminate the threat and tighten his grip on power. Behind bars and betrayed by a system controlled by corruption, Cesar and Marco must find a way to fight back — proving that some battles are not only about revenge, but about reclaiming honor and exposing the truth.
