Mexico in The Informant

The Informant, starring Matt Damon, talks about a company mischief into price fixing of lisine. In the movie, it is mentioned that they work with Mexico. In fact, the Matt Damon character proposes to his family to leave the states and relocate in Mexico. For the first time we see that Mexico is used as it should, as an important country in international world trade. Matt Damon actually goes to Mexico in the movie, but he only appears in Mexico City's airport.

I think this movie did not portrayed Mexico in a negative way. To the contrary, it was included amongst other countries as part of the whole commmerce with lisine. The movie is supposed to be based in true events.

So for once, Hollywood didn't hate Mexico.
