      Audience Member Smartest Eric Roberts movie yet. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A good film, albeit somewhat morbid. Walter (played by Eric Roberts) is a never-do-well drunk who likes to think of himself as a writer, living in what looks like an American idea of a Mexican village. He's offered $100K to kill a murderer of a teenage boy by the boy's father, which he agrees to do only to find out things may not be as they appear. The film has interesting characters and adequate direction, though its script is better than its cinematography. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member "La cucaracha, La cucarache, no mairjuana fuminar" Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This watchable neo-noir tale is ALL style and ZERO substance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best straight to video films by the director of America's Deadliest Home Videos! Very enjoyable, surprising and atmospheric. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member MAGISTRAL DOLORES DEL RIO Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
