This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Billie Morin
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Dana
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I am a native of Northern New Mexico and I am familiar with the writers, actors and extras in this movie, so I really wanted to like it. My rating of this movie is a 3, because I really didn't get drawn in like I would have liked to. The story line was confusing as to what exactly happened to make Whitey do the things he was doing and I was never really convinced what role his family played (drug dealing was the assumption). The writers stayed as true to their roots of Northern NM as they could, but I believe this was to their detriment because the targeted demographic seemed to be too focused on the filming location. The technical production of this movie was good and the main actors were good as well, but I was just let down by the overall flow in how the story was written. I think Diego is onto something and is a talented artist, and I just hope he doesn't give up on his new craft of movie making.Worth watching, but was hoping for more from the writers.

I am reviewing this awful piece of trash while I watch it.I am giving it a chance because the review demographics are curious - why do some women like this movie? A possible answer - that they find it reflective of their own lives - is terrifying. Please, if you live places like this, just leave. The symbolism might appeal to particular people, but am left wondering what a Pueblo person might think about this...personally I found the pseudo-spiritualism in here trite and cliché, speaking of which, Kilcher seems to have no problem co-opting members of other native cultures. And her fashion is simply ridiculous.Don't waste your time with this.n.b. I give myself credit for recognizing Espanola instantly, though I never found it as hostile as it is represented here.

It looks like an attempt to create something like "american me". If so, it didn't work out at all.Although the image itself is not too bad, the plot of this movie is really poor. If it was for me I would not go through all the hassle to produce the movie at all and wait for a better story to start with. Further the acting of namely the macho characters in the movie is overdone and not credible and therefore quite annoying to watch.The movie might be worth watching for a select group of people like the crew itself, it's family and friends, but further I cannot imagine that someone gets a good kick out of it. I rate every movie I watch and rarely rate something 3 stars, I gave this movie 3 stars.

Alright, so my friend brought this movie over and I thought, a sister fighting to save her younger sister against the heroin mafia. Hell, sounds good. But I never knew that "fighting" against the mafia meant going around to different people and asking them if they have seen her sister. So in short, there is this gangster named Whitey who goes around killing people who apparently took some money that belonged to him and his mother. He kills a guy who was with the sister of the heroine, the sister goes into hiding, blah blah blah, the guy goes around asking people if anyone has seen her. The heroine goes around asking people if anyone has seen her sister. That's it. Apparently the underworld consists of one guy and his mom according to this movie. Spanish is spoken liberally throughout the movie so if you have no idea about the language or have no subtitles, don't bother. Why this movie is categorized under action is beyond me..
