BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE DO

Warning: Spoilers
The film centers around a pair of modern "Robin Hoods" who agree to steal original 1848 Texas land grants that were stolen from the rightful owners by Miranda Kilroy (Jessica Lindsey). Miranda wants to level the ranches and build a cultural center where she can sing opera. The Robin Hoods recruit from the local residents to aid in the caper.

This is a Spanish film, that feels like it was made for TV. It is a mild comedy, with characters. Plot and action are secondary and lack real development. It is rated PG-13, although I though PG was more suitable with the lack of sex or nudity and the mild swearing...s@#t. Jackie (Cristina Rodlo) is overly intelligent and has a ranch hand boyfriend (Vadhir Derbez) clearly just for his looks. The characters are enjoyable, the plot is straight forward with less twists than a Steven Seagal film.

If you are looking for an adult action/crime/drama/thriller this is not it. This is a film most families can watch in spite of the dreaded PG-13 rating. I would think once the original documents were found and filed with the court, they wouldn't be needed anymore. Likewise, once the bad guys got a hold of the original documents, I don't understand why they kept them as opposed to simply destroying them. But hey, I am not a lawyer or a film maker. Enjoy it for what it is.

The film is mostly in Spanish and in part in English. I watched it with the subtitles.
