AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

treywillwest Strikingly similar to T-Men, this is another Anthony Mann-John Alton unsung masterpiece. I am surprised Mann did not incite the wrath of HUAC. Like Blacklist victims Abraham Polonsky and Jules Dassin, Mann's movies idealize American law enforcement, in this case INS, as an extension of a state apparatus the filmmakers hoped could be wielded for progressive ends. This hope was, of course, a by-product of the New Deal, in which progressive American artists thought that a government that they fancied, not unreasonably at the time, might be on the way to becoming the agent of transformative reform. Now, particularly in the on-set of the Trump era, this movie feels right down militantly defiant. It depicts Mexican agricultural laborers, be they documented or not, as productive victims of an untenable bi- national arrangement. That agents of law and order come to set things aright in a world of shadow and painful death seems, within the film, not as a laughable misrepresentation of the state (even if that is what it actually was) but rather as a utopian grasp at salvation.

Claudio Carvalho When several illegal Mexican workers are murdered at the border of Mexico and United States by a gang of Coyotes, the Mexican and American federal agents Pablo Rodriguez (Ricardo Montalban) and Jack Bearnes (George Murphy) are assigned to work infiltrated in the group of Mexican farm workers that are waiting for a chance to work in southern California. Pablo poses of bracero while Jack poses of a dealer of permits to work in the United State to discover the leaders that exploit the laborers. They stumble upon the rancher Owen Parkson (Howard Da Silva) and they find he is the ringleader. But soon they are in danger and do not have means to communicate with their contacts. What will happen to Jack and Pablo?"Border Incident" is a 1949 film about farm workers smuggling through the United States-Mexico border in a period of The Bracero Program. This illegal crossing of the border followed by the exploitation of the laborers make the fortune of the rancher Parkson in the story. The scene with Jack Bearnes on the field is impressive even in the present days. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Mercado Humano" ("Human Market")

LeonLouisRicci Although the Film is Bookended with Typical for the Time, Government Propaganda Containing Smooth and Convincing Big Brother is Looking Out for You Verbiage Coupled with Elegant Aerial Photography of the Fertile Farmland So Important to the Grocery Stores of America, the Rest of the Movie is a Dark, Dismal, Depressing, Violent World of Cut-Throats, Victims, and Villains on Both Sides of the Border. Director Anthony Mann Pulls No Punches and Along with John Alton, His Noirish Collaborator, Unleashes a Timeless Tale of the Human Trafficking of Desperate People by Greedy and Exploitive Criminals.This is a Downbeat Story that at its Core is Gut-Wrenching and Intolerable, but Continues in Various Forms to This Day. MGM Finally Made the Descent Into Social Consciousness and Film-Noir by This Time and Delivered a Gem of a Commentary with Very Little Restraint. Ricardo Montalban, George Murphy, Howard DeSilva, and Charles McGraw All Give Good Performances, but it is the Visual and Violent Template that Surrounds the Prescient Story that Remains and it's Bloody and Filthy Residue Resides in the Subconscious Long After the Movie is Over.

arfdawg-1 The Plot:To penetrate a gang exploiting illegal Mexican farmworkers smuggled into California (and leaving no live witnesses), Mexican federal agent Pablo Rodriguez poses as an ignorant bracero, while his American counterpart Jack Bearnes works from outside. Soon, both are in deadly danger from the ringleader, sinister rancher Owen Parkson, and find night on the farm to be full of shadowy film-noir menace.Dated with absurd stereotyped characters that had to be hokey even back when this film was made in 1949.If you're Mexican you are either a tirelessly god fearing good person who works hard for a few dollars that may be stolen from you crossing the border, or you're thieving scum who will kill your fellow man.The acting is as idiotic and thin as the script. There's actually a woman who feels the braceros hands before they are approved to go to ensure the hands a rough. OMG! It's so dumb.This surely was a grade C movie when it came out.
