Quotes
Jorge: How can you live in Texas and not have a hundred of Mexican friends?
Ray Sheridan: What about you, wise ass? You got hundreds of, uh, American friends?
Jorge: All my friends are Americans.
Ray Sheridan: Really?
Jorge: Yes. All Mexicans are Americans, and all my friends are Mexicans, so all my friends are Americans. It's North America, Central America, and South America. THAT'S America. Not just you ignorant gringos up here in gringo land.

6/10

A roller-coaster of thrills and yawns.

Based on Peter Landesman's cover story, the film follows a Texas cop (Kline) and Jorge (Ramos) who are on the trail to save Jorge's sister (Gaitan), a 13-year-old girl from Mexico City who was kidnapped to be sold in the sex-trade. A powerful story, with Kline and Ramos making an interesting duo. The conflict seems to always be easy to overcome, with the two leads never loosing the tail of the kidnappers no matter what the obstacle is. The tragic irony at the end is an eye-roller. The hunt begins to feel far-fetched as the film progresses, and Kline is as dull as usual. The Mexico City setting alone is a plus to this roller-coaster of thrills and yawns.
