“After my parents died, I didn’t really think I was gonna be able to come back to Tijuana,” Gloria (Gina Rodriguez) tells her best friend in the trailer for “Miss Bala, “but you always made me feel like family.” After a night of dancing goes horribly wrong, the death of her parents won’t be the only painful memory Gloria associates with Tijuana.

The spot for Catherine Hardwicke’s remake of the 2011 Mexican film sees the friends going to a club, and being torn apart when a cartel shoots up the place. Gloria is kidnapped by the cartel, led by Ismael Cruz Cordova’s (“the Catch”) Lino, and forced to help them blow up a DEA safe house. That’s only the beginning of her problems.

After escaping the cartel, the police detain Gloria and give her a choice: go to prison for the crime or go undercover to take down Lino and his associates. She picks the latter. “Whether or not you survive is entirely up to you” are her handler’s not-so-comforting words of advice. Still searching for her friend, Gloria infiltrates the cartel and impresses Lino enough that he shows her how to use a gun and “la bala,” the bullet.

“La bala: In the end, the bullet settles everything,” the badass Gloria declares as she suits up, loads her gun, and does whatever it takes to secure her freedom and save her best friend.

Best known as the titular character in “Jane the Virgin,” Rodriguez’s other credits include “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Annihilation,” and “Big Mouth.” You can catch the Golden Globe winner next in 2019’s rom-com “Someone Great.”

Hardwicke directed the first “Twilight” film, “Thirteen,” and “Miss You Already,” among other projects. She just signed on to helm the screen adaptation of “Dissonance,” Erica O’Rourke’s fantasy novel about a teen girl who can travel between different dimensions.

“Miss Bala” hits theaters February 1, 2019. Anthony Mackie, Aislinn Derbez (“Easy”), Cristina Rodlo (“El Vato”), and Matt Lauria (“Parenthood”) are among the supporting cast.
