"Maybe the best film of Cannes 1992. Beautiful, wacky, utterly self-assured. A subtle comedy of errors."
- Georgia Brown, the Village Voice
"The beautiful but arid landscape of north central Mexico is almost as much a character as Pedro, whom Mr. Sosa portrays in a performance that is at once strong and unassuming." - Stephen Holden, the New York Times
"A beautifully observed, morally intelligent film." - Andrew Pulver, The Guardian
A new 4K restoration overseen by director Alex Cox!
Against his father's wishes, Pedro (Roberto Sosa, Man on Fire), a naive kid from Mexico City, joins the Federal Highway Patrol. His simple desire to do good rapidly comes into conflict with the reality of police work in a lonely rural environment populated by poor farmers, rich drug dealers, beautiful woman - and his father's ghost. The wonderful cast includes Bruno Bichir (Sicario: Day of the Soldado), Vanessa Bauche (Amores Perros), Ernesto Gomez Cruz (The Crime of Padre Amaro), Mike Moroff (From Dusk Till Dawn) and Pedro Armendariz Jr. (Once Upon a Time in Mexico).
