Three Businessmen/Highway Patr R2 (Uk Import) - Cox, AlexReleasedatum: 29 oktober 2005
Three Businessmen: Two lone businessmen, Bennie and Frank find themselves alone one night in the dining room of a large Victorian hotel in Liverpool, England. Abandoned by the staff of the weird dining room, they tentatively join forces and go in search of food - in a city neither of them knows. But restaurant after restaurant fails them. Without realising their destination, Bennie and Frank travel half way around the planet, via public transport. Prattling on about credit cards and computers, never saying anything, their origin and purpose a total mystery. Finally at dawn they meet a third businessman, Leroy, who carries a child's toy. He too is hungry. The three of them find breakfast at a street stand, run by Josefina, and also... a surprise. Highway Patrolman: Pedro Rojas (Roberto Soza) graduates from the Police Academy in Mexico City with his best friend Anibal Morales (Bruno Bichir). They begin their careers as federal highway patrolmen on a lonely stretch of road in Northern Mexico. Anibal immediately starts taking bribes. Pedro holds out but suffers a series of mishaps: he is shot in the leg by a drunk driver and harassed by his father's ghost (Eduardo Lopez Rojas), wrecks a police car and beats up the son of the State Governor. Soon he too succumbs to easy money and marries a local ranch owner, taking a prostitute as a mistress. But when Anibal is killed in a shoot-out with drug dealers, Pedro's old fanaticism returns. He sets out into the desert, to settle the score...
