This thoughtful film could have been a minor modern epic if it had been given a stronger script. As is, it holds interest until some poorly developed story details begin to become too obvious. It’s also photographically patchy, with cheap handheld shots bringing down the better-constructed sequences. Some distracting editing in the first half won’t help it gain the attention the overall story is straining for – a pity because the whole thing has very good intentions as we follow a young man’s attempts to redeem himself for an accidental killing. Performances are sincere with the casting generally convincing, it’s just the weak moments in the script that let it down. Music is well used throughout including a couple of interesting songs and the outdoor locations standing in for the Tex-Mex border add impact – those who don’t feel the need to analyze their entertainment won’t mind the flaws, others may be let down.

Watched this movie with my family the other night. It’s beautifully shot and acted — and its story about a young man’s journey to understanding his long-held misconceptions and recognizing the humanity in the “other” feels particularly important right now. Much more than an action movie

Wow. The critic tug of war on this left me wondering what type of movie this would **** honestly, it was awesome! Intense, fun, dramatic. It had me on the edge of my chair. Loved it and highly recommend!
