American writer and director Cary Fukunaga makes a promising debut with this gritty but beautiful film about illegal immigrants on their journey to the promised land, USA. A young girl from Honduras and a boy escaping his former gang in South Mexico cross paths as they board trains to reach the US border. Fukunaga starts with a riveting tale that looses its path when he focuses too much on the gangs instead of the immigrants. The locations, actors and cinematography are all spectacular, only to fall victim to cheap plot contrivances of the screenplay that tries to tie loose ends which cheats the film and the audience of a greatness which is a shame. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
