La ley de Herodes (Herod's Law) is a 1999 Mexican comedy film, a political satire of corruption in Mexico and the long-ruling PRI party (notably the first Mexican film to criticize PRI explicitly by name [1]).
[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
After the mayor of tiny village is lynched by angry villagers, a petty PRI party member called Juan Vargas (Damián Alcázar) is appointed temporary mayor by the state governor. He is given a copy of the Mexican constitution and a revolver and is told by the governor that the only law is Herod's law (in essence "get them before they get you").
Spoilers end here.
