The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) starring Tommy Lee Jones, Barry Pepper, January Jones, Melissa Leo. Mike (Pepper), a gung-ho border security agent, accidentally kills a friend of Pete (Jones), a bilingual ranch boss. Pete forces Mike to help him take the body of Melquiades back to Mexico for burial. This is a fairly entertaining, colorful Western set in modern times, but the pace lags at times.
