First Look at New 4K Restoration of Alex Cox's Highway Patrolman

Kino Lorber have provided a promotional trailer for the brand new 4K restoration of Alex Cox's film Highway Patrolman (1991), starring Roberto Sosa, Vanessa Bauche, Bruno Bichir, Pedro Armendáriz Jr., and Zaide Silvia Gutiérrez. The restoration, which was supervised by the director, will open at Film Forum in New York City on November 30.

A Blu-ray release is expected to arrive on the market in early 2019.

Synopsis: An episodic look at a young man's life in Mexico's national highway patrol. We follow Pedro Rojas from cadet training and his rookie assignment in a northern border area, to his quick courtship, his taking of bribes ("la mordida"), and his slow exposure to drug smuggling. Rojas re-forms his idealism as youthful naivete gives way to an adult's complicated choices. From the creator of Repo Man and Sid & Nancy.
