Alicia I love this movie so much
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
cyberwoff There was no Christian agenda, and certainly no oogling of the daughter's breasts by the father. Thee are a few problems with the pacing of the movie, but all in all the father and especially Isabella do a good job. I think the movie slows a bit, waiting for the big shootout to begin, but once it gets started, it pretty much gets the movie back on track. This is not the best movie of its genre, and there are times when it could have been better, but taken as it is, the movie is entertaining. I know that when the movie ended, I felt a little better for seeing it. I just wish that the maker of Border Town had seen fit to make the last scene more believable. Or at least more cool. Instead of the father just running away from all the bullets, which was basically impossible without getting shot, they could have had him with two pistols, diving and dodging and such. I still liked the movie.
dbborroughs Man who has been on a bloody five year quest to find his daughter who was kidnapped by human traffickers has at last found his daughter and the man responsible in a small corrupt border town just in Mexico . They know he's coming and he knows they know and what happens when he gets there is the movie. Super action film probably would have been a main stay of the grind-house movie theaters in their heyday. This is a film with good good guys, bad bad guys, funny lines and lots of action. Think of it as a sort of play on Robert Rodriguez's Desperado. I mention this to tell you what its like but not to lessen the film by comparison. This is one of those small scale gems that run the danger of getting lost in the waves of direct to video movies. Where most of the films released that way are not worth your time this one really is. Its one of the few films that I wanted to start again when it ended. It's a super film that action fans need to search out. It's a film that I'm going to be recommending to all my friends who like action films. While it would be easy to say that this is the best film that Maverick Releasing has put out I would add that this is probably one of the best films put out by any of the small releasing companies.(I like Maverick and I've appreciated a large number of their titles which have run the gamut from good to awful, but have on the whole been at least interesting even when they failed.) If you're an action film you really want to see this.
herbiefrogg You will not live long enough to waste 90 minutes of your life watching this dire, dire movie. I don't know where to begin. It is so bad it isn't even funny, just sad. I kept watching it against my better judgement in case it would get better along the way, but it got worse. The plot is simple, but the acting for the most part is utterly abysmal; one dimensional characters spouting clichés after clichés without a trace of acting ability amongst them (with the exception of Linda Rodriguez who plays the part of Isabella). There is a huge shoot out scene that stretches credibility into another dimension in terms of the number of bullets fired by baddies that fail to hit their target which is all of 5 metres away. It is impossible to empathise with the main character who is so incredibly wooden in everything he says and does. I could go on but I won't because I have already wasted too much time watching this travesty of a movie. You have been warned!
AudioFileZ We've seen the story here done a few times and better at that, but for an indie with a low budget it's watchable, even entertaining, if you get past some of the predictability and the rote, many times laughable dialog. To be in a genre with past masters like Sergio Leonne and even newer homage paying directors like Robert Rodriquez, well, the going is tough as it sets the bar almost beyond indie reach (I know I'm going be called for this as Rodriquez did amazing stuff as an indie, but he definitely is more the exception than the rule).It isn't a classic by any stretch, but with better dialog and more cinematic, "film-like" (i.e. not video) visuals it would likely be a stronger contender as the actors and actresses, though unknown, turn in decent characterizations. As you can tell, I find it lacking a bit yet entertaining enough to watch.
