The Contractor
Los Internationals is a more serious Latino take on the Expendables and the A-Team, that will feature a team of all Spanish speaking characters who represent different parts of South America and the Caribbean. The film will be fun and have lots of heart but will also take a closer look at real violence in our society and the glorification of it in video games; comparing the two to show the vast contrast and its true impact on our children.
