Claqueta Ácida acid rating
"Michael Zegen lives in a state of cinematic Russian roulette. Capable of touching absolute magnetism with a 6.0, only to crash into 6.0 trainwrecks that leave us wondering if they read the script before cashing the check. Undeniable talent, questionable compass." — Claqueta Ácida Editorial Staff (Odín Lagbert)
