Review

Vargas is a mexican drug police who have been able to catch a mafioso Grandi behind the bars. There is an car bomb explosion on border area of Mexico and USA when Vargas and his wife are visiting there and soon Vargas is investigating this car bomb case with american polices. The more they investigate the case, the more Vargas finds out that not all the people in police forces can be trusted and his wife is tried to be framed on a scandal about drugs and a murder.

This was excellent film. It had beautiful visual style, interesting and surprising plot with many elements in it and the directing was great. In the beginning of the movie there is very well made scene where the whole long scene is shot with one long camera shot. I was surprised that these kind long one shot scenes were made already even on 1958.

This was worth the watch.
