He lives for his children and navigates the shoals of the Spanish underclass, an unfaithful wife (who's having an affair with his brother) and impending death. But through it all a spark of humanity glows, handed down from father to children. An incredible performance by Javier Bardem. In Spanish with English subtitles.

He joins forces with Piper (Amber Heard) -- a sexy, tough-as-nails waitress with a '69 Charger, who's also seeking redemption of her own. The two of them are hot on the trail of the charismatic Jonah King and his murderous followers. King will throw every one of his faithful under the wheels of Milton's car to fulfill hist destiny and unleash hell on earth. But the bloodthirsty cult is the least of Milton's problems. The police are after him, too. And worse. An enigmatic killer known only as "The Accountant." The Accountant -- who has been sent by the Devil to retrieve Milton and deliver him back to Hell -- knows what Milton is trying to and simply doesn't care. With wicked cunning and hypnotic savagery, the Accountant will relentlessly pursue Milton at high speed across the forgotten back roads of the American south. Fueled by high octane and pure rage, Milton and Piper must battle the onslaught of King's disciples, avenge his murdered daughter, and save his granddaughter before his last chance at redemption is revoked.
