Could have been a good film

I just watched this film on You Tube, and I would have to say that this could have been a good one, but it has some poor acting, bad timing, and characters that were simply not developed very well. Many other things that take place in this film are simply not credible at all. The worst part of the movie though, was that the lead "coyote"(a term to describe the one who leads illegal immigrants across the border from Mexico to the U.S.) is portrayed as some sort of a hero, when he is actually a very despicable piece of garbage as a human being. I found his depiction to be an insult to the viewer. No wonder I never heard of this movie, it could have been good, with the theme of what illegals face trying to get across the border, but it was badly done.
