Synopsis

It tells the story of the Padre (Roth), a small-time con man on the run from his dogged pursuers, U.S. Court Justice Nemes (Nolte) and local police officer Gaspar (Guzmán). When the Padre is caught mid-con, he flees the scene in a stolen car, unaware that a precocious 16-year-old girl, Lena (Henríquez), is stowing away in the back seat. After she blackmails him into letting her join his journey, the duo plan their biggest heist yet - not always aware of the dangers of working with each other and the law closing in on them.

Critics' reviews

"The movie is tolerable during the pursuit (...) 'The Padre' begins to take itself more seriously than the wafer-thin back stories of the opposing characters should allow (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
