Storyline
Good Savage is a black comedy about a North American couple in Mexico. While seeking artistic inspiration for their film, the struggling couple gets a good dose of reality as they encounter the savage forces of a Mexico no tourist guide could prepare them for. This Mexican film production entices viewers with a combination of zany acting, violent action, and enough dark humor to label it a fine addition to avant garde cinema.
