In the dusty, lawless border town of Ojinaga, Chihuahua; Mexico, it is only days until the hardscrabble citizens fill the streets for the annual Revolutionary Parade in honor of Mexico's favorite son, Pancho Villa. With the shadow of multiple unsolved abductions and murders emanating from Juarez, the people of Ojinaga are ready for a day without fear, ready to forget the corrupt police, the drug cartels, and the crushing poverty. But a killer is among them. In a matter of seconds, a single horrific event shatters everything and three men are brought together by deadly circumstances. It only takes a few moments for everything to change. Forever.

Excellent Well Made Thriller

Well made thriller and must see for all. Was very surprised when I checked this movie out, a friend who had lost a friend to a kidnapping in Mexico said this movie tells it best. My friend's friend was never found, it is very sad that this happens and how often. I am sorry to everyone who has had this happen, not that it means much but I understand and I hope good news comes soon.

But for those who want to see a good film, check this out as the film looks great, the acting is spot on as well as the directing as you believe what everyone doing and saying. The locations are spot on, helps you believe the story. Very impressed, that is why I am writing a review as it is an indie that needs to be seen.
