This is an easy to watch and fairly enjoyable movie. It doesn't blaze any new trails, but its run time is appropriate and not overdone.
Vince and Haley make this an easy ride. Its neither of their best work, but still pleasant and likable.
There are other familiar faces with bit parts along the way.
The crime story begins to take a backseat to the father/daughter story, which is fine. I just don't think the movie knew what it wanted to commit to.
There is one aspect of the movie that really burnt me though. The antagonists are Mexican cartel and naturally they speak Spanish. The problem is that there is a scene or two where these people are talking to each other, but we aren't offered subtitles. One scene in particular would seem to carry some weight and goes on for some time, but us non Spanish speaking people are left in the dark. I'm not sure why this creative decision was made, but it makes no sense and alienates the audience.
Overall, its an average movie, but still worth the effort.
