Transpecos Rating: Director: Greg Kwedar Writing Credit: Clint Bentley and Greg Kwedar Cast: Johnny Simmons, Gabriel Luna, Clifton Collins Jr. Rated: 14A; language, drug-running (though no drug use) and violence Genre: Drama/thriller Duration: 86 minutes Synopsis: Border Patrol agents in the Texas desert find a cache of drugs. There must be something about the combination of searing sunlight and murky morals. Transpecos, a remarkably assured first feature from director/co-writer Greg Kwedar, takes a simple story of cross-border drug smuggling and crafts a riveting drama in the scrubby Texas desert. But the main characters are Davis, Flores and Hobbs (Johnny Simmons, Gabriel Luna, Clifton Collins Jr.), a trio of U.S. Border Patrol officials.
