This movie has a magnificent ending, with a subtle statement made by the director appearing in the background. As Maria walks away from the airport terminal, an advertising hoarding announces "It's what inside that counts". In the context of the movie it makes many statements: Maria's intestinal fortitude, the drugs that were carried, the way in which the couriers were treated on arrival, the way in which people viewed them....
In one sense this scene is a critical interpretation of humanity and the way in which we value different things in people. One might turn it around to ask "what is it inside people that ocunts most for me"?
The movie can be a little confronting at times, but worth seeing.
