"Transpecos" was a movie that I wasn't even familiar with prior to finding it. I picked it up and was somewhat intrigued by the synopsis. But it was actually more of the cast that won me over, and I decided to watch it.This is a wholesome entertaining movie, with a storyline that had some appeal and some depth to it.It was definitely the amazing performances by Clifton Collins Jr., Gabriel Luna and Johnny Simmons that kept the movie interesting.The storyline in "Transpecos" was somewhat predictable though, but straightforward and entertaining enough.I can warmly recommend that you take the time to sit down and watch "Transpecos" if you haven't already seen it. I was genuinely surprised and entertained by what I saw here.

Benjamin Davis (Johnny Simmons), Lance Flores (Gabriel Luna), and Lou Hobbs (Clifton Collins Jr.) are US Border Patrol working a remote stretch of desert. They find a stash of drugs in a car but Davis turns on the others. He had been pressured by the cartel to help them smuggle the drugs.This is a small indie with a limited production. It's able to use the desert locations to full advantage. It needs more action to amp up the tension. It runs at a nice low-boil but I kept waiting for more instances of boiling over. Clifton is great as always although the other two could improve. Their characterization needs to be sharper. This indie does some good and worthy work.

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.

If watching 3 out-of-work actors stand around in the desert next to a shack trying to remember how to act is your idea of a great time, welcome to your new favorite movie. Nonsensical plot, train wreck of a script, and a budget in the high tens of dollars all add up to snooze-worthy straight-to-online waste of time. At one time, independent film meant a production company had simply gone around the usual distribution channels, usually because the topic was out of the mainstream. Now it just means some amateur with a digital Canon SLR and $40 to spare has brought his or her half- baked ideas to the internet, where an occasional fool falls for a trailer and rents it for $3. This particular effort calls for a new model, where the producers pay us, the viewing audience, to watch. At say, $50 an hour, that's the only way you could get me to sit through such pure and utter idiocy from beginning to end.
