The Plot…

Wallace is returning as the new Sheriff of an Arizona/Mexico border town. Leland, the former Sheriff, was forced out of office after a routine stop ended in tragedy.

What Wallace doesn’t know, but will soon learn, is Atticus, one of the cartel’s deadliest hitmen is coming to town.  Atticus has his machette and a list.  Everyone on the list is marked for death.

As Wallace tries to figure out who was involved in the event that triggered the hitman’s arrival, Wallace learns his estranged girlfriend, Lynn’s name is on the list.

Leland, the former Sheriff is old and drinks too much, offers help.  But can he be trusted?

Atticus has his list.  He’s killing people and checking off names.  Soon Atticus will come to Lynn’s name.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

John Leguizamo is good as Atticus the relentless killer.

There’s a pretty shocking scene fairly early on.  It was a pretty bold choice.

The Hollow Point (2016) rates 4 of 5 stars.
