ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

bletcherstonerson Usually I watch really bad movies, intentionally. I don't review new films due to the mass amount of voices that can do a better job than I at discussing cinema. First, I am shocked that this didn't get the distribution it should have, wtf is wrong with Hollywood that we get Apatow on every corner but a gem like this never makes it to the cineplex. Secondly, I would put this film alongside movies like No. Country for Old Men, Fargo, Pulp Fiction and Django in the column of Celluloid Art. Here's why...there are no weak performances. Each actor is at the top of their game, from the teenagers ,the Sheriff to the actress who plays the investigator that aids Harris on his quest to find the truth. All roles are played as though we are watching incidents taking place in real time with honest portrayals. The writing may seem to be manipulative on the surface to some viewers, in reality a close look shows that it is more deftly crafted allowing us to follow along, rather than lead us. The material does more than cover the hot button issue of undocumented immigration with a right vs. left storyline ,we as viewers are fortunate that the directors and writers are able to pull off the Herculean task of dropping us in the middle. The greatest part of this movie is that it is gripping until the last second of the movie, that is not an exaggeration, until the very last second of this film. Definitely put this on your list to watch, you won't be disappointed.

vandelour I really enjoyed this movie. Good story, good writing, very well acted, nice camera work… it pretty much hits all my buttons. But at its core, its a good story about good people caught up in a whirlpool of unfortunate events, some to be expected, some unexpected. But all sadly plausible. Here's a hot tip to those who drag around their political and racial baggage with them: leave your suitcase of gripes in the lobby. If you can't enjoy the movie for what it is without yapping about imaginary liberal/marxist/PC conspiracies and propaganda, better not see it at all. It might just challenge your prejudices.. and then where would you be? But I don't want to emphasize the wrong things in this review. Its a good movie. Go see it.

Danny Gon Firstly let me say that i live in south Texas so this movie hits definitely close to home. I found this movie on netflix and decided to give it a shot. I'm normally not into drama-like movies but this had some western and action mixed so i decided to give it a go. Plus it has some pretty good actors in it. I can say that this movie was much better than i had imagined it would be. It was definitely well made and well thought out. It was a movie that had me glued the entire time. The acting was strong except i thought that there were a few moments that were a bit too flaky or obviously not well planned but overall a very solid performance.The movie also contains some strong sad moments and you feel for both families. I do suggest this movie and say that it's definitely worth the view. Thumbs way up!!

DonB-5 The production value and acting was fine - no issues. The story left a lot to be desired. It paints an anti-American view of how illegal immigration is perceived and dealt with in the US, trying to portray the illegals as the victims while concurrently suggesting US border patrol and police are corrupt.Sorry, way to PC for my taste. It struck me as a plot trying to paint the darkest picture possible of American immigration policy and the consequences from that policy versus the Mexican workers who simply want to "work hard."In addition - several plot points begun in the 1st half of the movie end up going nowhere - its as if the writer simply forgot about them. What of the family that is robbed? What of the 2 Muslim illegals who run off once in the US??
