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.
... View MoreI haven't seen anything this awful since a got cable! this movie blows!! It looks like it was filmed with a hand held camcorder for about $50. The acting is just dreadful and the directing is a complete mess! I have to be honest, this movie is so bad it's almost a comedy!!!!!!!! I actually found myself laughing so hard i almost lost a lung! It's spoken in Spanish, but they hard-coded the subtitles onto the film. Whoever did the subtitles must have dropped acid before sitting down at the computer.The subtitles move and jump all over the screen... there is a scene in the opening sequence, when you see the subtitles in a million different shapes and sizes! We even get treated to seeing a subtitle float out of a characters mouth! It was actually pretty funny. Maybe this is a comedy, because i'm LMAO just thinking about it!come to think of it, this movie is actually pretty f'n hysterical. It certainly has more laughs then "What Happens In Vegas", therefore i'm giving it a whopping 2 stars for bringing me to tears of joy... literally!
... View MoreThe 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.
... View MoreIm 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.
