“Bad Hombres” (** out of four) a muddled and muffled suspense melodrama about two undocumented immigrants (Diego Tinoco and Hemky Madera) who are in financial desperation and take a job digging holes in the desert but soon find that their various employers (Thomas Jane, Tyrese Gibson, and others) are psychopaths who will bury them in the desert if they don’t stay in line. Passable filmmaking and acting hold your interest for a little while but after a while the ugliness and sordid storyline start to leave a bad taste in your mouth. Film attempts to be meaningful and topical about immigrants and their financial struggle but it’s hindered by film’s mediocre framework.
