I recently watched the Mexican thriller 🇲🇽 Rage (1966) on Tubi. The story revolves around a depressed doctor who, while researching a rabies infection, gets bitten by a rabid dog and has only 48 hours to reach the hospital before succumbing to certain death. Along the way, he is aided by new friends and possibly a newfound love interest.

Directed by Gilberto Gazcón (Remolino), the film features a stellar cast including Glenn Ford (Superman), Stella Stevens (The Poseidon Adventure), David Reynoso (Mariachi), Maura Monti (The Bat Woman), and Gilda Mirós (The Fearmaker).

Rage exceeded my expectations with its authentic performances, perfect setting and attire, and atmospheric props. The subplots involving the prostitute and the doctor add depth to the story, while the unpredictable plot twists keep the audience engaged. The opening dog and cat fight scene is entertaining, the love story is unique, and the birthing scene is intense given the circumstances. The inclusion of children in the bus at the end is a brilliant touch, adding layers to the narrative.

In conclusion, Rage offers enough unique elements to captivate audiences until its climactic end. I would rate it a 7/10 and recommend giving it a watch at least once.
