...wildcards are writer/director Sebasti??n Cordero, who has only an obscure drama—1999’s “Ratas, ratones, rateros”—to his name, and actor John Leguizamo, whose work varies widely in quality, to say the least. Thankfully, both perform admirably in “Crónicas.” Leguizamo, in particular, delivers the performance of his career...
