Tijuana Bible

A very downbeat presentation, which gets a little tiresome about half-way through. The core plot - a sister looking for her brother who's gone missing after being deported - normally wouldn't be compelling on its own.

However, the principle actors certainly put a lot effort into making their characters interesting. In fact, Paul Anderson crowded the red line in that regard. Add to that unusual settings (Tijuana's gritty side), some nifty background music, a few scenes involving special lighting effects, and the result in a movie that is worth watching.
