Steineded How sad is this?

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

adonis98-743-186503 A female American reporter searches for her missing brother against the backdrop of violence and human smuggling across the US/Mexican border. The Mule is not a bad film as many stated it was it's problem for me at least was the story and certain characters mostly the villains it's a movie that talks about immigration and although it does have some strong scenes with a pregnant woman dying or even a rape scene the film looses it's focus between the whole plot story about Stone saving Billy Zane who by the way is pretty much forgettable. Would i recommend you to see it? Probably no but if you ever see it on TV or Netflix give it a shot who knows you might actually like it but don't except much the characters and the story are mediocre although the performances were actually decent.

staceyparks-64425 I came into this film not expecting much, and i honestly was blown away by the movie. I'm not claiming that this movie is 100% factual or even close to it but I think the filmmaker did a brilliant job of chronicling the immigration reality.If this movie had been entirely fictional, I would have given it 2 stars. The importance of the story and the care taken in some parts gave it 5.Before I excoriate, here are the good points. It tells a very important story for everyone to know. The reality of the border was depicted realistically, though I am no expert.The end has a fantastic, unexpected twist. It's a clear criticism of the system. I won't spoil it. But it's a must see.This movie earned my attention and i was on the edge of my seat until the end credits. I've watched all the major movies this year and this is, in my opinion, one of the best film of the year.

introact Border Run is a bare-bones, gritty, raw film about a very serious topic. Sharon Stone must have chosen to endure this demanding role to support the film's effort to show the incredibly inhumane treatment of illegal aliens on both sides of the border. It forces the viewer to confront the real human suffering caused by the enforcement of the Mexican/American border and the criminals who take advantage of desperate people. With few words and an emphasis on clear-cut situations, the script is effective without putting its themes into unnecessary comments by the characters. Some of the supporting actors are so immersed in their roles that it is hard to realize they are not actually these unfortunate people. This is one of those real-life stories that plays out like a movie, with twists and turns, but is true nonetheless. It certainly deserves a better overall rating than 4.2.

gavin6942 A female American reporter (Sharon Stone) searches for her missing brother (Billy Zane) against the backdrop of violence and human smuggling across the United States / Mexico border.The key to remember in this film is that, as is said twice, the issue of the border is "not that simple". Any political stand on the issue has to be very nuanced or probably uninformed. I am not going to even try to explain where the arguments on many sides of the issue go wrong, as that is a book in itself.And that is how I have to frame this film. I feel like it generally has a sympathetic view towards illegal immigration. And, indeed, there is reason to feel that way -- if my life could be substantially improved by crossing an imaginary line, I would probably consider doing it, too. But that ignores the importance of a strong border: keeping threats out and formalizing the citizenship process.Yet, if the point of the film was to spark debate, I suppose it may succeed there. Immigration and border control is not an all or nothing issue, and there is much worthy of debate in these topics. Are we morally obligated to help improve people's lives? Or perhaps we are more obligated to ensure a strong homeland defense? Sadly, Billy Zane (6-foot-2-inches of pure bad-butt) has far too little screen time and Sharon Stone is well past her acting prime. She was not a strong lead, and whoever decided to give her that terrible hair just made her more distracting than necessary.
