Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

coetzeell-07322 I love these kind of movies. Out in the desert with civilization many miles away. Non stop action and deceit between colleagues. Starting off as a couple of border patrol officers having fun and making jokes between themselves, but then turns ugly as the movie progress. Good acting that makes everything very believable. Some things are unexplained but does not affect the whole atmosphere of the movie. Please watch this movie, you wont be sorry. This is my first review and i decided to review this specific movie as i found it very entertaining and realistic.

lavatch "Transpecos" is successful in creating an intriguing atmosphere in an action picture set along the Southern border of the United States and Mexico. But the film fails to deliver an incredible or engaging dramatic action.There are three interesting characters in the border patrol officers, Davis, Hodges, and Flores. One of the officers has gone rogue and become involved as a middleman in a drug cartel. When the rogue agent fails in his attempt to let a shipment of cocaine pass the checkpoint, the agent takes his fellow officers hostage.An improbably and overly complex sequence follows in which one of the agents dies, and the other two attempt to thwart the drug cartel. But rather than develop an exciting action, the film lapses into attenuated and static scenes that are drenched in atmosphere, but stripped action."Transpecos" is one of many contemporary films that address the major problems of American's southern border, leading to drug trafficking that goes unchecked. If one is to believe this film, the time has arrived to "Build the Wall."

Sicknology I was really looking forward to watching this after viewing the trailer, add that to the fact I like Clifton Collins Jr acting.It's a slow burn but usually i like this kind of film, it's just disappointing that the story was feeble and had so many 'what did he do that for?!" moments. The trailer is the film because the rest of the story really makes no sense and could have been written a lot better.Up to the moment when the Officer makes his big story changing line 'He can't call it in' it was going rather well, the setting was interesting and the acting was spot on. But this is where it ended for me, it crumbled into a mess of scenes that seemed to be thrown in just to finish the film.A 4 out of 10 at most.

Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) Surprisingly better than I expected 7.5/10 (wish I could give half stars - better than a 7 but not quite an 8, but got the 8 anyway)Going into this with no A-list actors, I wasn't expecting much but must say, although it was a slow progressing movie (86 mins was perfect), I still enjoyed it.The acting was actually quite good, the cinematography and location setting was excellent as was the score. The director did a great job putting this all together and making you feel you were right there feeling the anxiety of the actors and the situation. There were some parts that needed improvement, such as the opening scene with the guy getting dragged out of the trunk - would have liked some more background on that part, as well as more of an ending.This was no Sicario by any means, nor did it have the actors to support it, but overall for a movie that was a little slow (and I'm not one to sit through long dragged out movies), this one kept me anxious and following the storyline with anticipation. The ending was also a little convoluted... who where the group of people that shot them, and where the Border Patrol higher-ups in on this scheme, as the report of the amount they retrieved was much less than the actual initial find.Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this and would recommend Transpecos as a Netflix & Chill type movie night. Cheers!
