A not very engaging story full of good actors and an attractive Mexican touch. What at the beginning looks like a decent desert survival chase turns into a scripted crime drama with a number of characters that are well sketched and solidly acted. Surprisingly, this makes for a well-balanced rest where all the basic film components are of a decent standard, but it has nothing to stand out from the average except perhaps the great music, which sounds like from a big pirate movie.

I was surprised myself how much I liked this film. The story is quite simple and straightforward, the acting performances are not dazzling, it's not excessively brutal, and there's essentially no eroticism, but it's beautifully human and the actors with their ordinary performances give the whole movie the right look. It was enjoyable to watch, mainly because it wasn't unnecessarily emotionally intense. And it easily could have been.
