Somewhat reminiscent of El Norte, this film didn't have the same level of humanism to offer the audience. This was partly due to its immersion in the extremely violent world of latin american gangs, with their crude rituals, ugly tattoos and overall despicable behavior. In fact it was closer to an action-adventure flick than an attempt to open the eyes of a complacent North American to the plight of economic refugees.
This was a jaundiced view of mankind. The grail at the end of the harrowing journey a Wal-Mart parking lot.
