Wow.. like.. nobody even watches the movie (although it has a great cast) and the few people that actually saw it don't rate it very well.

Personally this was one of my favorite movies I've ever seen. Not the best, but at least a movie I will remember (I see a lot of movies and I forget a lot of crap ones as well).

Also, you can not find the movie anywhere on the internet and together with this "1,985 users rated" thing, I don't think this movie is really popular and I really wonder why that is..

It's a gritty crime thriller taking place in Tijuana that’s more moody psychological drama than action flick. It’s similar in style, locations and content to “Borderland” (2007), albeit less of a horror flick (yet still containing loads of horror). Like that movie, there are glimmerings of greatness amidst the grey mayhem in the mold of “Apocalypse Now.”

Unfortunately, the story’s sometimes confusing which would be helped if you use the subtitles since some of the dialogue is difficult to discern (I viewed it on DVD and didn’t have that option). But there’s a lot to appreciate here, including the quality cast, the style, the melancholy vibe, the music, the poignant drama, the gritty action and several beautiful Mexican women. The movie’s obscure, but it shouldn’t be.

I give it 6.5/10.
