Directed by Christopher Leitch (the director of Teen Wolf Too and the writer of Universal Soldier) and written by Michael Allin (Flash Gordon, Truck Turner), this has Telly Savalas as border patrolman Frank Cooper.
Cooper has to balance doing his duty and empathizing with the illegal Mexican border jumpers. He also has to deal with his corrupt boss Moffat (Eddie Albert), who deals with coyote Suarez (Michael V. Gazzo), as well as protect a young Mexican man by the name of Benito Romero (De La Paz), who is on the other side of the border working in a slaughterhouse.
It's not the quickest movie but as always, Telly Savalas makes any movie that much better by being in it. There's nothing like hearing him say a line like, "Compassion? If I had compassion I'd stick a .357 up your ass and blow your brains out!"
