Warning: Spoilers
The film has fonts and the stye of a 1970's grindhouse film. It takes place before the age of electronic phones and everyone rode around in a Grenada. It defines the word "Snag" as it relates to fishing. It is also our lead character (Ben Milliken) who is from Australia and not a Gringo as he keeps reminding folks. He is both lucky and cocky. He manages to escape being killed by Victoria (Ana Ortiz) a crime boss to going to marry her daughter Valentina (Sofía Castro) which gives Victoria massive conflicted feelings. Snag was a drug mule and now works as a bouncer at a small bar with his bride-to-be passed on.

The has flashbacks by using the word "THEN" before the clip and then "NOW" when it returns cleverly done as part of the background as sometimes in a photo. I like the Tiffany song which I expected to have been played as our couple rides off into the sunset. You can keep the anachronistic rap/hip-hop. A few scenes are too long, most are okay. The dialogue would use a line from a film as contemporary pop culture. I like that and I am certain many folks missed them.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
