Harsh Realities Of The Mexican U.S. Border

[TheAnimalMother · 7/10 · 25 February 2022]

This is in no way a Hollywood border film. This deals with the much more horrifying and shocking aspects of the reality. The film does claim to be based on true events. It's low budget; However the film is well thought out and well put together. The acting is reasonably good. If you're interested in the reality of this place, look no further, this is a very worthy watch. Be warned, there is some pretty sadistic stuff in this film. This is definitely not for the faint of heart.

7.5/10.

I beeze dumbfounded..

Ok, so I acquired this video and finally found the time to dive in. After about 10 minutes I gave up based on the abysmal acting. I decided to come here, IMDB, to see what the feedback was. Having read the 1 review I decided ok, I'll give it a shot.. Bad move,, bad waste of.1.5 Hrs. The story, I'm sure is a reasonable facimile of the harsh realities that the poor and downtrodden of Mexico suffer. There's much to be troubled by but the story and the acting is sooooo bad that it's really hard to watch. What can I say? Its , notwithstanding the gritty reality, on a sub-par level with a high-school play. The acting wouldn't make the grade even in that setting.. I know I'm about to sound equivocal but the broader story is interesting and should be told,just not by the people who produced this crap...
