Featured review
i bought this film close to three days ago because in england you can't catch eric roberts films everyday. I was interested in this film not only because i am a massive eric roberts fan but the idea of the film was unique. the first thing you immedietly notice with this film is that it is very low-budget, but so many independent films are, and once you give the film the initial five to ten minutes you will start to enjoy the very twisted plot. The plot is an american man gets hired to do a hit and with many twists and turns the film will unravel. beware if you don't like a film set entirly in mexico with mexican music do not get this film, believe me i am a massive eric roberts fan but the whole mexican thing got very annoying later on in the film. OVERALL a good solid eric roberts performance with the odd laugh, the odd killing and the certainly odd plot. i must finally say that joagim de almeida puts in a stunning bad guy performance even topping his portrayal as "bucho" in desperado.
