When Melquiades Estrada (Julio Cesar Cedillo, All The Pretty Horses) is found murdered and buried in a shallow grave in the desert. The local police force makes no attempt to solve the crome, rapidly transferring the corpse to a paupers grave.

As good as a Coen bros and feels like one. Tommy has done a great job, on my third viewing.
