600 Miles Storyline

With the hidden compartments of his SUV crammed with assault weapons, the young Sinaloan and low-level firearms smuggler, Arnulfo Rubio, attempts to cross the Mexican border, only to catch the eye of the veteran ATF agent, Hank Harris. However–not knowing what to do when he manages to turn the tables on Harris–Rubio decides to drive from America back to Mexico, to turn the captive over to the cartel. Now, the lives of the two men become inextricably intertwined–and as they head to a very dangerous place–the bitter adversaries will have to trust each other to make it out of there alive. Can they return to the United States in one piece?—Nick Riganas

600 Miles Movie Reviews

Kept At A Distance

Laid back approach to exciting drama that gets where it’s going to very slowly and quietly. For the most part though the director keeps us distant from the characters and the action. Unfortunately this limits our involvement.

Nice modern day western vibe to it.

600 miles starts off with a very Intriguing look into America’s gun control policy.

I learned a lot about how and where I can purchase a firearm. Some instances I sincerely hope are being over exaggerated by the film.

The movie really comes to life the moment Tim Roth’s character comes into it. It’s a slow paced drama, that feeds on his low key and very effective performance, as an ATF officer, very imperfect in doing a very dangerous job.

His relationship with Arnulfo, a weapons smuggler who kidnaps him was fantastic. Every thing was so subtle as these guys barely said but a few words to each other, yet you could see the connection coming between them. Just amazing and effective filmmaking.

I also like how the movie was dubbed in both Spanish and English. Not that you really needed dialog to understand the movie.

It was a small movie that was able to tap into the human emotion and really suck you in with the great performances and excellent film structure.

The Long & the Short of a Cut-Price Sicario!

600 miles at 85 minutes is a relatively short feature, but in terms of screenplay and storyline, it actually seems padded out at that length. Truth to tell, though long on distance according to the title, the movie is brief on story. There’s plenty of footage of people travelling in darkly lit vehicles, not saying a lot or saying nothing at all. Consider Tim Roth’s Hank Harris ATF officer is really only in about the last hour of the film (at most). It takes close to 30 minutes to set things up, before he arrives on the scene and even then, there hasn’t been a lot happening. I’m still not sure what the film is trying to say. That gun-running for cartels is dangerous and sucks in too many young Mexicans seeking the fast road out of poverty. Well, we probably already knew that.

The first act involved Arnulfo’s American associate walking in and out of several gun shops, whilst looking at guns and talking to staff. Director Gabriel Ripstein doesn’t mind repeating himself, but I’m still a little vague at what he was messaging. Suffice to say we get to the denouement relatively quickly, but that all ends up being somewhat ill-defined too. Kind of inevitable I’d suggest, for what really is a pretty half-baked production that somehow managed to get Tim Roth involved. Give me its bigger-budgeted cousin any day of the week.
