Sin Nombre (2009) - 96 min

Country: Mexico
Director: Cary Joji Fukunaga
Cast: Edgar Flores, Kristyan Ferrer & Paulina Gaitán.
Sayra is about to embark on a journey with her father and brother to New Jersey. Willy nicknamed Casper works for a dangerous gang led by a multi-tatooed Lil Mago. Due to some unfortunate events, Sayra and Casper meet at the Tapachula train yard.
The journey is not that simple for the travelers, there is a 90-10 chance of surviving it with immigration officials on one side and other side of the coin is controlled by bandits who rob the immigrants. This is the feature debut of Cary Fukunaga, an american director who is currently directing the upcoming James Bond movie 'No Time to Die'. Both performance and cinematography effectively carry the narrative and provides an engaging experience of 96 minutes of it's run-time. Sin Nombre won the Cinematography Award and the Directing Award at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Overall, It's a solid and watchable journey that Latin American immigrants take between Honduras and the States.
Verdict: Good
