I hated this film. There are many things wrong - all to do with poor establishment of point of view. Who the viewer is supposed to follow I really don't know. Tilda's character is well portrayed but that does not make up for an impossible plot. Where does a penniless alcoholic get ready cash from at the drop of a hat? How do you drive a car for hundreds of miles without getting petrol? If you're an addict of some kind, well, I supposed you might get something from this miserable, less than entertaining film. If not, don't bother. You'll just be made very unhappy and you won't learn anything. Mexico comes out very badly - yes, OK there is a problem with crime but for God's sake we don't need to see this sort of thing. It feels like a con, the characters are all conners and quite frankly you'd be wasting money going to see it.
