This movie is in the same line as 21grams, crash, babel, etc.. where it's a mix of stories where everyone affects the others. but made so much better in my opinion!
It follows the story of 3 groups of people. all centered on a car crash. And like the name mentions, (amores perros = love's a bitch or love dog), it also has dogs as the theme for all 3 stories.
If you enjoyed any of the movies i mention in the start of this review, and if you like great, well acted, well directed movies, I highly recommend this one.
It is subtitles but the DVD i bought had the french audio but to get the full effect, watch it in spanish. it's a whole lot better.
My overall rating for this movie is: 9.5/10

I don't know I really like Alejandro González Iñárritu's movies a lot and Gael García Bernal is awesome, but I just couldn't get into this movie. The entire story line with the model just bugged me. Also, I can't stand the thought of dog fighting at all, which probably turned me off even more to the movie. I did like the story dealing with El Chivo I think it was. The stories really seemed to disjointed even for this type of a movie. I will give it a 5/10.
