Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Best movie ever!

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

A movie that must necessarily to be seen by Donald Trump, as long as he's still in office! The film is not great, but the message is simple: the cause of Mexican poverty and the vital need to cross the border to the North. Telly Savalas, as usual, is very good in the role. Unfortunately, the script is not very consistent. The other actors, Danny De La Paz, Eddie Albert, Michael V. Gazzo, Cecilia Camacho, also give their strength as much as they can.

Telly Savalas showed in his career that he could play heroic roles as well as bad guys. He plays a good guy role here, and he does his best, but most of the rest of the movie erodes his efforts. After a passable action beginning (which boasts some impressive stunt work), the next half hour or so is a real bore, with practically NOTHING in this half hour advancing the plot. Eventually, things start moving again, though pretty slowly for the most part. But despite that, the movie remains pretty boring, with Savalas' character curiously offscreen for several sections of significant length. The movie ends on an odd note, as if the filmmakers ran out of money and weren't able to film an ending that would have been really satisfying. Apart from the opening sequence, the only other part of the movie that will have viewers alert is a scene in a slaughterhouse, which shows the (real) slaughter of cattle that will disgust most viewers.

A film sensitive to the plight of Mexican immigrants coming to the US for a better life.Savalas plays a border agent with a compassionate heart. Savalas is really great in this role, and the production/writing nearly rises to his level. When he's not on-screen, the film is two dimensional. The other agents are hateful Americans, the immigrants are sentimentalized heroes. I like the heartfelt understanding, but I wish it wasn't so "good guy/bad guy". Savalas somehow makes it all credible, but he's not always the focus. When he is, good flick.

A hard-boiled border cop out to bring down an immoral and evil smuggler of illegal aliens. Stars: Telly Savalas, Edward Albert. An interesting film mostly shot in Mexico. Tells the story about a soon-to-retire 'short-timer' Border Patrol officer (Savalas) who has good relations with people in Mexico and terrible relations with corrupt upper level Border Patrol bosses. This film is really 'Kojak goes to the Border'. It shows illegal aliens in a liberal silly sympathetic light as only mindless pawns in the sick power game between a Mexican smuggler coyote (Michael Gazzo) and corrupt Border Patrol boss, Albert. Illegals are about as interesting in this film as the cows processed in the coyote's meat packing plant. Interesting only for Savalas acting work on screen.
