Pretty decent movie.

Good story, Good photography, good acting all around, nice color grading, nice sound. Really, although this is an indie flick, there is nothing about it that makes it seem low-budget or amateurish. Every person on the crew and doing the post work is talented and it shows in the movie. You won't see this one at the Oscars, but you will not be sorry you watched it. It is a pretty decent flick.

glad I came across it

It's a shame this movie hasn't gotten more attention. It's very well made and beautifully photographed. Performances are solid and the story is a welcome relief from the usual overblown Hollywood fare.

Surprisingly good

I had no expectations going into this movie and ended up being really surprised by this indie flick. Typically movies like this have a small personal story at their core but this one is much more epic than anything I've seen from similar indie/festival flicks. Without giving away any spoilers I'll say this one is great for people who love crime movies or shows like Breaking Bad. Several scenes are really good and tense wile other parts of the movie are beautifully shot, looking like they belong to a bigger (more expensive) movie.

A gem of an indie.

One of the best movies I've seen in a film festival. I have high hopes for Texas Chainsaw Massacre now that DBG is taking it over. The scenes where the protagonist is running from the funny hitman (best scenes in the movie) are a good indicator that the stalking scenes in TCM will be done right.

To all of the people in the future who find this review because they backtracked the director, this is an indie gem in the vein of El Mariachi, but much much slicker. Worth your time and money.

Unsuccessful attempt

I like Indie movies so that's why I watched Tejano. Sadly this one is an unsuccessfull attempt. First, the script is full of plot holes. A total nonsense. Second, acting is mostly amateurish. Last, the scenarios are pretty cool but some photography work could have been better. So, overall I do not recommend this movie.
