Miguel is the perfect coyote: dedicated, single-minded, his record unblemished. His home is the winding path of the migrant: the back alley gravel, the crumbled pavement, and last - the river. Despite this perfect record, Miguel is no stranger to death. His nickname, "El Maldito" hints of what we will soon see for ourselves, for Miguel seems haunted by the dead and dying. He comes upon them on desert roads; he hears their confessions, and takes part in their dying wishes. Miguel's house, much like the man himself, stands alone; yellowed photographs breathe the sigh of a life given over to a singular purpose - crossing his people to a new life. There are signs that this quiet struggle is soon to break. When a terrible wreck draws Miguel to the roadside, the order of his life comes to ruin, for Elena, the wreck's lone survivor, recognizes Miguel.

Timely and believable
Compelling film that, at times, felt like a documentary. Very intense. Oscar Torre's performance is especially riveting. The Latin guitar music fit well for the score! Most of all this film brings to life the struggle facing many immigrants today. Ripped from today's headlines and I can't help but wonder if that will help this film find a wider audience.
Different type of movie. Must see
Invoice glad I came across this movie. With everything going on right now with the border issues, this was great timing. This film is about a man who's really good with getting people across the border to the USA by boat. He develops issues with a drug cartel who. Some into his area creating problems. The movie is slow for a while then it gets good. Things gets really good and the movie takes off from there. Loved the way they ended it. Must see
If you like thrillers this story is for you.
It is a mystical thriller about a strong man, human smuggling issues and suspenseful story. It is also about current social issues. I like the camera work and editing. I think it is beautiful. The lead actor, Oscar Torre, gives a convincing, excellent performance. The director did a very good job.
Film didn't show me what it needed to
This movie sells the idea that the Protagonist is the best smuggler in the business. I never experienced viscerally how in detail he did that, and that was a crucial part of my investment in the 1st act, all I saw were boring generic shots of a boat on the river and walking by the bush, and pretty much throughout the film it's the same thing or lack thereof. Show me that he's the best smuggler in the region, I need to experience it, I didn't, this character isn't memorable, impactful because of it, I hoped he was based on the premise and how he talked the talk in certain scenes but I never seen him walk the walk...shame!
A definite must-see
A really authentic feel to the world-building in this indie gem. You can almost taste the sand in your mouth while following the characters through dry gulches and arid landscapes. Beautifully haunting soundtrack, lovely to look at and great sound design. Some memorable characters and acting make this a definite must-see.
