Eric Roberts portrays down-and-out, exiled American Walter Pool living in Mexico who is offered $100,000 to kill local crime boss Herberto Ortega (Victor Rivers). Whether or not he commits the actual murder doesn't matter; what counts is that he finds some personal redemption in the attempt. While this film may not be for everyone, both fine acting and superb directing work well together in this successful black comedy.
