Sadly Over-hyped

Memorable, crazy movie

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I really liked this movie. Sharon looks different, but I like that. Good actors change to fit the role. The director had a clear vision and look for it. The smooth camera moves are so cool and the music is chilling and melancholic. I also like all the actors. I look them up and some are famous in their own countries.Many American probably don't want to see this sad reality, because they are very comfortable with their American Way of Life, and they don't want to be bothered. But I think cinema was created to show reality in a different light. This movie is a piece of art. I highly recommended!

I truly enjoyed This Movie. Paying to see it was a good inversion of my money and time. It's thrilling and exciting!The film has a good script, with a powerful current message. Illegal immigration in US is a subject that few films have developed with such realism. With a moderate budget the Stone / Tagliavini as duo did a great job. The director knows how to get great performances from every single one of the secondary actors.For people like me who like independent cinema this is a very good option to see. It's an interesting and well-filmed movie. Do not miss it!

It's going to be hard to not reveal any plot, as there didn't appear to be much of one.Sharon sure looked old, (Sorry, Shar); the nudity displayed was more of a shallow attempt to reach some aging demographic, I'm sure. I meant decrepit demographic. It's time to give up the sexual roles, dear. If they ever do a remake of the Wizard of Oz, I'm sure there will be a part for you.As for the rest, I've not seen such over-dramatic, emotionally unbalanced acting in a long time, maybe ever. It's as if the actors all thought they were the star. I'm thinking the director has a hand in this, obviously. "Give me MORE !! I want to hear those SCREAMS ! More crying !"With a weak plot that never was fully resolved, an inaccurate portrayal of the US Border Patrol/Customs Agents, the gratuitous violence and sexual scenes... ad nauseam (and those are the GOOD points of this dog), I recommend you spend the 2 precious hours of your life doing something else. Anything.

"Thousands try to cross into the US illegally every year. Each person carries a story, this is one of them and I didn't know at the time but this story is also mine." American reporter Sofie (Stone) has just got a big break in the story she is working on. Excited she calls her brother and hears gun shots. Trying to find out what happened leads her to Mexico and a ring of human smuggling and violence. From there things get more and more dangerous, and it's all true. I will start by saying that this was better then I was expecting. While still a B type movie the acting wasn't bad and the movie really made you feel strong emotions. One of them is anger toward the smugglers, the other is anger toward the border guards. To me the movie made me feel mixed emotions. Anger toward the smugglers and anger toward the US policies as well as agreeing with the policies. I wasn't sure who is in the right in this movie and that's what makes a good movie. One that makes you feel something you didn't before. I recommend it for that reason, but the movie itself is just OK. Overall, the emotions you feel make the movie well worth seeing. I say B.
