Director Amat Escalante and his gifted cinematographer Lorenzo Hagerman have crafted a powerful film that feels and looks a lot like Steven Soderbergh's Oscar-winning Traffic.
David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Although it obviously is made with some skill, it also is unrelentingly dire.
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic

Unmistakably, an angry film, an indictment of circumstances that seem to force a choice between impotence and homicide.
A.O. Scott, New York Times

A stunning piece of filmmaking.
