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.
