Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The intro was too long and drawn out. I liked the effects and the drama the producers created but I found myself saying..."all right all ready...let's get to it.". I was bored while we were still in the opening credits. When the movie finally started I was uncomfortable because the writing and acting was bush. And okay...it's another border story, we know. we know. I did love the settings., especially the final scene on a Mexican ranch...the personal stories about the characters got good in the middle but the acting was just poor. The best actor was the big fat Mexican 2nd in charge drug guy, he was GREAT. The rest of the actors were all poor...they make you think you could do a better job yourself. It could possibly be the script. But guess what? It's worth a view.

If someone would have spent the extra few grand on putting this movie on film instead of video, I think the impression of this movie would be better. The music tracks were not always appropriate for the scenes and both the acting and editing could have been even marginally improved for a much greater return on the movie's overall quality. I would say that it is not even remotely good as it stands, but such little things could have taken it so much closer to being acceptable. I think the fact that it has to do with Mexico just reminds me all that much more of Spanish day-time TV. Oh, and they also filmed it like a bad soap opera, most of the time without even a tripod.

The 1st scene in this film was great, and had me hooked with the insight of a new storyline and approach to the (IMO overdone) Mexican border scripts that have made it into the movie scene over the years.After the 1st scene and intro the movie quickly became B grade, with bad acting from the majority of the cast, something you would expect with a lower budget film and first time movie actors.The other disappointing factor of this film is that scenes jumped left and right, and was very slow (after the intro), making it hard to follow any kind of storyline.The idea that was put behind the script was great, and in my opinion could have created a hit in the movie scene, however the casting and script itself damaged this potential.I rated it 3 out of 10 because the potential was there, and the opening scene was good, along with the intro that sucked me into thinking this movie was going to be worth watching. 140 minutes of my life i am not getting back.

Im not gonna get into too many details cause most of you haven't seen it yet.The best part of this movie is right at the start. Its a scene where a few Mexican woman and children try to cross the US border. After this it gets hard to keep watching. The overall bad acting, bad shooting scenes, what actually is there not to find bad about this movie?? There are A and B quality movies and this one adds the F quality. Waste of time and waste of money(making it and watching it)even if it's a Monday night.I rated it 2 out of 10 for the trouble.
