A taut 86 minutes of moral dilemmas, a drug deal gone wrong and a very bad day in the lives of three border guards.
Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail

Artfully made but wholly accessible for a mainstream audience, it features strong performances but no names in the cast who'll draw attention on their own.
John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
Though rife with implausibilities, "Transpecos" is fortified by strong acting and a location whose desolate beauty is a gift to Jeffrey Waldron's serene camera.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Fresh
An effectively moody, well-acted and impressively understated thriller by Greg Kwedar in his feature directing debut.
Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
The performances are all solid, especially Luna. And Kwedar's sense of place feels so authentic that you can taste the dust in the back of your throat when the end credits roll.
