I liked this movie. It's good for washing you off Hollywood stuff once in a while. The camera behavior differs from the habitual and leaves you pondering and doing your own interpretation in a variety of moments. This different take leaves you in the edge of the couch sometimes! It also shows how easy it is for a stupid young man to buy loads of guns and how easy it is for a young man to choose the wrong path.

This has to be one of the worse movies of all time. It is a very slow paced movie and poorly directed. It takes 5 minutes for the movie to let you know that Tim Roth is driving a suburban with the kid in the back sleeping. Then they are taken to the boys uncle who is eating and wants to see the A.T.F. agent. He tells his guard to go get him, (remind you, the vehicle is parked in a gated area next to the back door)the uncle clears the table of ALL dishes and washes them ALL, before agent is brought in. Then another scene the boy is crying for five minutes while we as an audience have to endure this for no reason. Make your point in the movie and then move on to next scene. The rating of "R" is not for any of the shooting that takes place. It is for ridiculous and retarded. Just before head gunrunner is killed, Tim Roth runs out back door and kid is cowering behind a credenza. One of Capi's men without taking any precautions, runs directly into the same path as Tim had traveled only to be mowed down. In summary: Anyone wanting to save themselves some money and want to have a boring evening, I'll be glad to give you my copy..Such a waste!!!

First of all, the sound quality was awful and by sound quality I mean diction. The Spanish was so bad that it barely qualifies as that language. I just didn't feel like trying to understand every word of some ignorant street urchin and I doubt any Spanish speaker outside of northern Mexico could understand much of what the kid was saying. His English was worse and although this may be realistic it doesn't really play well in a film in which dialogue is so important. Diction classes would have been a wise pre-shooting decision.There just isn't enough here for a movie. I liked the look into America's ultra-creepy gun culture and this is something we really need to examine more thoroughly. The fact that a teenager can walk into a gun show and walk out with enough fire power for a small war is nothing but creepy. The people buying these weapons in Mexico are thoroughly evil and the narcos' death cult is probably second only to ISIS on the list of ghoulish human activities.In the end not much of a script and with very little to say.

I went to see this movie thinking it would be a look at the Gun Wars and Mexican Cartels.Your movie is anti-gun propaganda. You had the young guy buying guns filling out an ATF Form 4473 and then the Dealer not doing a NCIC Instant Background Check. No Dealer sells guns illegally like that. In real life the young kid making the "Straw Purchases" would have been flagged and intercepted early on by the ATF as the instant background checks were run. That aside your ending totally sucked. What were you thinking dropping the guy off in the desert and then going to a kitchen scene with audio still playing during the credits. Total ripoff experience
