You won't be disappointed!
Really Surprised!
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
I love these kind of movies. Out in the desert with civilization many miles away. Non stop action and deceit between colleagues. Starting off as a couple of border patrol officers having fun and making jokes between themselves, but then turns ugly as the movie progress. Good acting that makes everything very believable. Some things are unexplained but does not affect the whole atmosphere of the movie. Please watch this movie, you wont be sorry. This is my first review and i decided to review this specific movie as i found it very entertaining and realistic.
Good acting and beautiful scenery get overwhelmed by unbelievable story ...To list a few things that 'spoiled' this for me:1) If you have a 3 man border crossing, and bribe/blackmail only one guard, make sure it is the one who can override the other 2. Otherwise, your odds of getting things through are less than 1/3. Especially, when you choose the most junior guy.2) I thought of the adage, 'I could beat you up with one arm tied behind my back'. A man with a freshly broken arm, can not balance his weight while choking someone. Roll him off of you!3) If you know Drug Lords kill Border Guards (with pipe wrenches and pushing off cliffs). Why does the hero want to go to a drop-off? To arrest them? (better off with backup) Kill them? (better off with backup) Reason with them? (seems unlikely; more likely you will be killed and they will take the drugs)4) How do you expect to have a successful drop-off driving a Border Patrol truck while still in uniform? Why not drive the mules car?5) Once the hero knocks out the guy, why does he not call it in? His lack of radioing for help, leads to the death of his fellow officer. After not calling it in, how is the hero not, at least, kicked off the force?6) When the pick up guy tells you to head down a road, and a boy appears in the middle of that road, how do you not think it is a trap?7) Why throw the drugs out of the truck? You need the drugs for any hope of a resolution with Drug Lord. Why not go back and pick them up?8) If you believe the premise, that they drop the drugs off and everything will be OK. Once you get to the drop-off, and you are spotted, why continue? The pick up guy is going to phone in that 2 Border Patrol were at the drop-off. The charade is over. Tio is immediately going to order your family killed. He is not going to wait until they get in protective custody.9) Why not leave the drugs with the pick up guy?10) When you open fire with an automatic weapon on 3 guys ... the only one to die is the one with the bulletproof vest?11) That Border Patrol truck has GPS ... track it12) Who would want to be partners with the hero after this? You know he let his last partner bleed to death to 'maybe' (threats are not always carried out) protect someone else's family, and Tio is clearly going to want revenge for losing half is drugs.13) Throw the drugs in the river and a ferry will pick them up?!?! Maybe if they were bright orange ... but to cover an entire river would require a lot of boats and men walking on shore.Finally, if I am ever shot, I hope the people with me, continuously apply pressure to the wound (which I never saw them do; a tourniquet to the waist is a waist), and if I say, 'just let me die' ... they say, 'You will be OK' and call for help. Do not let the person with lack of oxygen to the brain, make the decisions.
If watching 3 out-of-work actors stand around in the desert next to a shack trying to remember how to act is your idea of a great time, welcome to your new favorite movie. Nonsensical plot, train wreck of a script, and a budget in the high tens of dollars all add up to snooze-worthy straight-to-online waste of time. At one time, independent film meant a production company had simply gone around the usual distribution channels, usually because the topic was out of the mainstream. Now it just means some amateur with a digital Canon SLR and $40 to spare has brought his or her half- baked ideas to the internet, where an occasional fool falls for a trailer and rents it for $3. This particular effort calls for a new model, where the producers pay us, the viewing audience, to watch. At say, $50 an hour, that's the only way you could get me to sit through such pure and utter idiocy from beginning to end.
After all the drama, this movie could have gotten a superb ending as follows:Movie overall did a good job in establishing conditions and drama regarding drug trafficking. Only in the second last scene while agent Flores was debriefing they could have been shot from the behind the whole time. And.....Slowly camera rotates around to reveal the face of the narrator (Flores) to show it is actually DAVIS who is telling this story instead of FLORES ending the scene with a smirk on his face.Think...!!!
