No spoilers here. Go out and see it for yourself.
When it comes to directorial debuts, you often never know what to expect. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada went above and beyond expectation.
Perhaps the most fitting reason as to why this film is worth seeing is that it deconstructs the illegal immigration problem at just the right time. The juxtaposition between illegal immigrant and boarder patrolman sets the tone for the the conflict that meanders and moseys as every good western should.
The question that I;m left with has to do with all the preamble surrounding this film, more specifically its billing as a remake of "Bring me the Head of Alfedo Garcia." Is this because it was a bilingual film? Because of the Mexican element?
Three Burials is not driven by a bounty. Rather, its narrative moves forward out of the respect of one friend to another.
