Synopsis

A Texan ranch foreman kidnaps a border patrolman responsible for the accidental shooting of his friend. With his captive in tow and the body tied to a mule, they embark on a dangerous and treacherous journey through the frontier mountains and back roads of Mexico to bring his friend’s body home.

MUBI's take

Director-actor Tommy Lee Jones (The Homesman) and writer Guillermo Arriaga (21 Grams, Babel) won the Best Actor and Best Screenplay awards in Cannes for this inventive modern western. A splendidly kaleidoscopic and epic journey that is set in the staggering landscapes of the U.S.-Mexico border.
