I'll speak plainly, I found it boring. The cover art looks great, the metascore & critic score seems inviting as does the synopsis & screen shots. Also once you see its a Jack Nicholson & Harvey Kietel movie you're immediately sold, but believe me when I say, it just doesn't work.
A lot of the movie feels asif it's been shot from a helicopter, that's how empty & dull alot of the scenes in this movie are. It's asif nobody has much to say. There's not really any classic lines/conversations, theres not much room for a standout performance, it just teeters on at a slow pace until the end.
Nothing evoked any emotion, nothing spoke to me, it was just dull & empty. It sets up something early on where a border patrol man is shot in what feels like a set-up/execution, & you feel asif later on Nicholsons character will work it out. But no, never brings it up again. Also Kietel character seems to just dissappear for long segments, & relationships between bad guys are never really touched on.
Feels like a TV movie which could have been a classic with alot of tweaking in the script/story.
5/10 very 'meh' not the worst film in the world, but not something I'd ever recommend.
