6/10
Some Writing Flaws Hurt the Mini-Series!
3 August 2012
This film was a take on the original. There are several stories going on here. One includes a Chechyen illegal immigrant taxi driver who is awaiting the arrival of his wife and daughter aboard an illegal ship. When the ship sinks with all the illegals on board, he is determined to learn the truth about the events. The second is a young man who has failed in real estate but takes over his father's clothing business with some shady ties to Ronny Chow. He suddenly realizes that his father was involved in transporting illegal immigrants. The third is a DEA agent with a devoted loving wife and son who just moved to Seattle. All of this takes place in Seattle. Anyway, he goes AWOL during his time in Afghanistan and there's more. Anyway, Mary McCormack delivered a great performance as the wife, Carol McKay. The other cast members are also quite good especially the Chechyen man. The film is weak in it's explanation of what actually happened to make it believable.
