       Paul (Mulroney) and Diane’s (Kruger) daughter (Stallard) is in acute need of new lungs but there are hundred ahead of her in the queue. Their doctor (Arquette) tells them there may be another way. Illegal. In Mexico.

       It has moments of suspense and ethical dilemma but much of it drags and it comes off as a conflict between rich white Americans and sleazy violent criminal Mexicans in a Hollywood action film.
