	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"An artfully handled if somewhat underwhelming debut from writer-producer Gabriel Ripstein (...) This low-key and realistic thriller features a few standout sequences but never ratchets up enough tension."	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A tense look at Latin American weapons smuggling. (...) In a scenario like this, violence can’t be avoided, but when it does erupt, the effects are sudden, brutal and decidedly unromantic."	POS
United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"Ripstein allows events to unfold in a meandering low-key style, employing an observational point-of-view with a handheld camera. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Dan Fainaru Screendaily	"Ripstein's direction shows little interest in the details of the plot, but is far more successful when underlining the unbearable ease of acquiring arms in any American shop and taking them over the border to Mexico."	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang IndieWire	"[It] does not reinvent the wheel, but keeps it firmly steady, hands at ten and two."	POS
