Diego Tinoco wanted to push his acting range. In the crime thriller Bad Hombres, his role as an undocumented immigrant stretches his capabilities with a character who speaks nearly entirely Spanish in this American film.

The film stars Luke Hemsworth (Westworld), Thomas Jane (The Punisher), Nick Cassavetes (Face/Off), Tyrese Gibson (The Fast and The Furious), Hemky Madera (Queen of the South), and Paul Johansson (One Tree Hill). John Stahlberg Jr. (Crypto, Muzzle) directed the movie from the screenplay by Rex New and Nick Turner from the story by Stahlberg.

Here is the official synopsis:

Two undocumented immigrants who take a job digging a hole then learn their employers are criminals. They become embroiled in a blood bath with one revealing a secret past that might save them.
