Human rights activist James Rhodes (Jeff Daniels) is set to oversee union elections in Tijuana in a factory owned by an American company. He is frustrated to see that a US Federal Trade Commission representative, Emily Thompson (Portia de Rossi), is also present and Rhodes suspects there's a set up by the American company to assure that the union doesn't get a hold of the factory employees.
Meantime, 27 Mexicans, men, women and children, are found dead in a tunnel across to the USA and two young American men have disappeard. While many suspect it's the work of a drug cartel, Rhodes wonders if it has to do with the union vote.
Despite protests from Tijuana police Detective Claudio Castillo (Clifton Collins Jr.), Rhodes becomes deeply involved in the investigation. Douglas Draper (James Spader), who is with the US consulate in Mexico City and is an old friend of both Rhoades and Thompson, also investigates.
Lots of turns, twists and suspense as the story unfolds, and what are Police Captain Madrid's (Jordi Caballero) motives, anyhow?
Directed by Rowdy Herrington.
Unrated; apparently this film went straight to DVD and did not have a theatrical release.
My personal rating: B-
