We Review: Heavy Rain

I must admit when I first heard about Heavy Rain, I was a little dubious about it.

López confessed to getting rid of over 300 bodies killed by hit men working for Teodoro “El Teo” García Simental, who is vying for control of the Tijuana drug trafficking cartel. López dissolved the corpses in vats of acid and was paid USD 600.00 a week.
