Storyline

Meet the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos, the world’s only binational pro baseball team, during a staggering low point in U.S.-Mexico border relations. Go beyond the headlines to explore America's pastime on both sides of the border, as the Tecos divide their home games between stadiums in Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Explore the lives of the players, their families and the wider community affected by divisive rhetoric, but united by a common history, shared traditions and the love of the game.

Fortunately, the actors do their thing well, some secondary characters call your attention, and the humor employed takes away the solemnity of the whole ordeal, but the shootouts shine rather realistically. [Full review in Spanish]

Bad Hombres is an involved thriller that respects the genre and doesn’t insult the audience.

Jeffrey M. Anderson

RTCommon Sense MediaFeb 20, 2024

This twisty, low-budget crime thriller feels like a less-funny, second-tier sampling of Quentin Tarantino or Elmore Leonard, but its brutal creativity and high style make it compelling.

RTCulture MixFeb 18, 2024

Bad Hombres is a soulless and violent 21st century Western that is just a bunch of terribly staged chase scenes, obnoxious characters, and cliché-filled shootouts. It's time-wasting junk that has nothing interesting to show or tell.
