Review

A border police is on a mission with his partner and he sees a man from his past. After this mission many men come and find him and he have to face his history what his wife and daughter have not even known before.

A story about border patrols and their work is not the most common theme in movies so it was a nice and refreshing viewpoint for the things goings on in borders. Drugs, illegal immigrants and other criminality is seen many times mostly from the viewpoint of criminals or police, but not from the point of view of those who need to handle this kind of cases on their job directly in frontline.

Acting was good and gang members were credible. Plot was interesting but still it left me wonder some choices of the main character since there would have been easier way to solve things and therefore some choices made no sense, at least not for me.

Directing works well. Story is building in good pace, characters have enough personalities and the protagonist have charisma and a good guy vibes so as a viewer it is easy to want him to survive from the pbolems he have to face.
