Now I find Linewatch I will think This Interesting ,and you can see that
BuZZ from Customer Shopping
Lots of holes, but filmed with good quality stock.
The best summation I could think of for this Cuba film was to imagine the Chief from Men of Honor being a Border Patrol Agent (honest, hard working family man, maybe some history) - then half way through the film becoming the crooked cop from Dirty, but instantly. So much so that it takes the film down a road (literally) of not caring about him.
The quality of film stock is outstanding, the sets and outdoor locations were utilized very well, which adds a good A-List feel to the film. But the supporting cast tries to hard to add gangsta-comedy relief to a an already unbelievable story line. Dean Norris (who I remember all the way back to Starship Troopers) has a nice screen presence, but every few minutes something else would happen that takes you out of the story. A murdering gangster becomes a Federal Agent? Maybe... The agents do not wear any body armor on going into homes? Probably not... The agent gets located by his old crew and they threaten his family and he is ok with it? No... Our main character decides to facilitate an epic drug deal across the border and not utilize the 50 agents in his office to save him and his family? Whatever...
The ending is even more unbelievable, but by that time you have invested the effort so you see it through because it looks good. Don't bother asking why some things keep happening the way they do because most of them will not get answered. The DVD cover art is off again; That vehicle is never in the movie, the stances of the gangsters in his glasses and to the side of the vehicle are lame (and never in the film), etc.
Maybe a rental, or not.
Ex-gangbanger in the border patrol
In Texas as far from the LA crips and bloods as he could get 'mad dog'
has a lonely job and a nice family. Chasing a coyote brings up ancient history come to haunt him. He has enough trouble with white vigilantes.
He runs into his homies as they are trying to get a shipment of drugs up from Mexico. These are murderers and drug pushers from the big city
in his dry washes and desert territory. The trouble isn't going to leave him or his family alone... Good tension and acting here.
