An all-star ensemble in this crime thriller set in one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico, Tijuana. Veteran hit man Mark Shields(Ray Liotta)is assigned to track down Mexican drug lord Pelon(Esai Morales), who is the head of the Salazar Crime Cartel. Pelon has been the target of the American government for quite some time; now they expect Shields and his 20 years of killing experience to bring him down. Pelon puts himself in the cross-hairs with his decision to switch from Colombian cocaine to heroin from Afghanistan. The film lumbers a bit; the acting tries to make up for the lack of action. Others of note in the cast: Andy Garcia, Armand Assante, Bruce Davidson, Danny Trejo and Valerie Cruz.
