...Veracruz--and synthesizing them into a fluid, singular brand of rock en espańol. The song El Fin de la Infancia puts brassy Mexican banda music to a ska beat. Eres is a pop ballad served straight. And Chilanga Banda is a nod to funk. It makes for manic concerts. This two-disc set captures Tacvba's epic 15th-anniversary blowout in Mexico City...

That notion is underlined by the fact that James Carville, Clinton's manic political operative, dreamed up the idea of making this picture and is credited as one of its executive producers. But the movie, All the King's Men, is not a cheesy, made-for-TV biopic.
