Synopsis:

Honeymooning in a border town, Mexican police detective Vargas finds himself and his American wife caught up in a murder case involving a building contractor. Investigations lead him to suspect police corruption and, sure enough, he has strayed into a private fiefdom some will stop at nothing to preserve.

Review:

Overpoweringly seedy, idiosyncratic study of the depraving effects of power; by turns frustrating and impressive, but rarely thrilling.
