I am a native of Northern New Mexico and I am familiar with the writers, actors and extras in this movie, so I really wanted to like it. My rating of this movie is a 3, because I really didn't get drawn in like I would have liked to. The story line was confusing as to what exactly happened to make Whitey do the things he was doing and I was never really convinced what role his family played (drug dealing was the assumption). The writers stayed as true to their roots of Northern NM as they could, but I believe this was to their detriment because the targeted demographic seemed to be too focused on the filming location. The technical production of this movie was good and the main actors were good as well, but I was just let down by the overall flow in how the story was written. I think Diego is onto something and is a talented artist, and I just hope he doesn't give up on his new craft of movie making.
Worth watching, but was hoping for more from the writers.
