I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

To the other reviewers who pointed out the movie's storyline flaws: is this the first movie you've every seen? It's the nature of the beast. To those who mocked the acting: two out of three ain't bad. Didn't like the pacing? It's hot in the desert (and a cinematogrpaher's dream). Go slow.I wanted to watch a movie before bed. I passed on this one because of the reviews and went to a more "sophisitcated" choice. Five minutes later, I was back to Transpecos. That's usually all it takes me to know if I want to watch a movie or not. Next thing you know, it was well past midnight. Overall, a very good watch.

I love these kind of movies. Out in the desert with civilization many miles away. Non stop action and deceit between colleagues. Starting off as a couple of border patrol officers having fun and making jokes between themselves, but then turns ugly as the movie progress. Good acting that makes everything very believable. Some things are unexplained but does not affect the whole atmosphere of the movie. Please watch this movie, you wont be sorry. This is my first review and i decided to review this specific movie as i found it very entertaining and realistic.

I rarely get a chance to catch a movie these days, so when I do I want it to be pretty spectacular. Transpecos was just that. The story line started twisting and turning from the very beginning and really had me thinking "What would I do?" The moral struggle these characters all went through during the 24-hour period really helped showcase such different perspectives we all can have. Things aren't always black and white, and the gray area Transpecos showcased was so well done and kept me on my seat the entire time. And then you hear about all of the research and history behind making the film and it makes it even that much more fascinating. Those characters embody real people and real stories, stories that myself in my "city bubble" will never come close to understanding. Thank you for telling such a great story!! Can't wait to watch it again!

three u.s. border guards in a desolate part of new Mexico looking for drugs being smuggled into America. things go terribly wrong and that's when the story gets going. this is a little movie and should be enjoyed for what it is. the three actors, all new to me, were very good. I can't give away too much, but I can say that it's a drug deal gone bad and one of the guards is in a lot of trouble. the story is convoluted, yes, but the way it plays out is very effective and intense. even though it's only a movie, I was very much on the edge of my seat, in anticipation of something bad happening at any minute. this is greg kewdar's first film directing and to me it's not unlike "hell or high water", which is quite a coincidence.
