Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
smarks59 Trapped in my in-laws house with no cable, I am forced to watch what ever CDs they have. They have season 3 of Bordertown. I would assume any TV series that reaches season 3 would have had a chance to teach basic acting skills to the cast. That is not the case with this stinker. First episode on the disk "Sweet Revenge" was so bad I couldn't endure the entire episode. Be smart. Don't buy this show. We must not encourage this sort of behavior. Its bad! These so called actors should have their SAG cards pulled and they should go back to hotel housekeeping. I know I'm not supposed to include spiteful remarks, but if I hadn't found this so bad I wouldn't have even bothered reviewing it.
ponee-1 I loved the show, Bordertown, when it was on and have always wished I could find it in re-runs on some channel, but never have. Of all the western shows that were ever on it was my favorite, and I started watching western shows a long time ago. For those of you that might be interested there is a great web site where you can read fan-fiction (stories written by fans that stay true to the show and characters) especially the westerns. www.womenwritersblock.net when there go to the authors list and click on the author named Stardust. She/he has written some good Bordertown stories as well as some other stories. Nearly all of the authors are worth reading and you can be sure you won't run out of stories for a long time. Maybe you would want to try your hand at writing fan fiction, too. It's the best thing when you can't watch the re-runs.
bkoganbing This Canadian produced western series had an interesting concept and I only wish someone had thought of it back in the day when I was a kid and westerns were what ruled television. Bordertown was a place that straddled the 49th parallel which is Canadian-American border as fixed by the treaty that gave the USA Oregon territory way back in 1846. A little cross border cooperation in regard to law enforcement was a practical solution to a lot of problems.Weekly, Marshal Jack Craddock (Richard Comar), and RCMP Corporal Clive Bennet (John Brennan), cooperated far more than the governments of the United States and Canada were wont to do back in the day. Until the 20th century the USA had this peculiar notion that the Canadians were just waiting to be annexed by us and would welcome liberation from the British Empire/Commonwealth. That in fact the nation was founded by folks of British descent who were fleeing Tories from the American Revolution and French folks who wanted their own autonomy in any event didn't faze a lot of American policymakers.But in Bordertown bad guys were bad guys no matter what side of the 49th parallel they hung their hats. So these two cooperated out of necessity.I'm pleasantly surprised to see just how many fans this show had. I so wish it had a longer run.
alliwantisgerry I love watching this show. Just wish I had taped the episodes. I really like Comar and Brennan. It used to be on here saturday nights after the news but they stopped showing it a few months ago. I'd love to see it brought back, even if it was at 1am I'd tape it.
