After murdering an undercover DEA agent, two corrupt cops scramble to cover up what they've done. Two corrupt cops murder an undercover DEA agent by mistake, and frantically try to cover their tracks by framing a homeless man for the crime. That involves juggling evidence, coaching witnesses, and improvising to keep their desperate scheme from unraveling.

It was an OK but rather average movie in terms of acting and story. You can watch it once but it's nothing really spectacular.

Tupar Shakur is leading a main role in the movie with Jim Belushi.

Amores perros / 2000 / Mexico / 8.1 out of 10 Rating on IMDb

A horrific car accident connects three stories, each involving characters dealing with loss, regret, and life's harsh realities, all in the name of love. On the brink of the new Millennium in the bustling City of Mexico, one horrible car accident intertwines inextricably the lives of three perfect strangers. Octavio, a rebellious adolescent who is secretly in love with his sister-in-law, dreams of escaping his miserable life, and for this reason, he enters reluctantly the obscure world of dog fighting with his lethal dog Cofi. And then unexpectedly, Valeria, a stunning woman and famous supermodel, will cross paths with Octavio, while in the meantime, her pampered little dog Richie manages to vanish into thin air in the confined space of her apartment. Lastly, Chivo, an ex-guerrilla vagabond, after abandoning his little daughter, unable to make up for lost time, he channels his love to the city's strays and a mortally wounded Rottweiler. In the end, even though all the weary characters, men and beasts, wish for a bright future, in this life-changing journey in the pursuit of love, sometimes infidelity, sin and death can get in the way.

A really good Mexican movie albeit not really my genre. It's a lot like Requiem of a Dream. Somehow all events are interconnected and tell the story different people / couples who are in the search for love and their meaning in life.
