The first must-see film of the year.

Do you remember those cheap and awful straight to video movies PM Entertainment ground out in the 1990s before they got bigger budgets and better scripts and direction? Well, "Border Lost" shares a lot in common with those movies, only it makes those PM Entertainment movies look like masterpieces in comparison. It's appallingly cheap, with cinematography that strongly resembles what a VHS camcorder would grind out, and with little in the way of production values. There's hardly any story, with things stretched out long past the breaking point for an agonizing one hundred and five minutes in length. It's terribly acted, though in fairness to the cast the script gives them hardly anything in the way of character development and personality. There's almost no action, and what little there is wouldn't make expert action directors like Isaac Florentine or John Woo lose any sleep. The end result is a movie that's absolutely agonizing to watch. Why Mill Creek Entertainment thought that this movie was worth a re-release on DVD, I cannot say.

The intro was too long and drawn out. I liked the effects and the drama the producers created but I found myself saying..."all right all ready...let's get to it.". I was bored while we were still in the opening credits. When the movie finally started I was uncomfortable because the writing and acting was bush. And okay...it's another border story, we know. we know. I did love the settings., especially the final scene on a Mexican ranch...the personal stories about the characters got good in the middle but the acting was just poor. The best actor was the big fat Mexican 2nd in charge drug guy, he was GREAT. The rest of the actors were all poor...they make you think you could do a better job yourself. It could possibly be the script. But guess what? It's worth a view.

I haven't seen anything this awful since a got cable! this movie blows!! It looks like it was filmed with a hand held camcorder for about $50. The acting is just dreadful and the directing is a complete mess! I have to be honest, this movie is so bad it's almost a comedy!!!!!!!! I actually found myself laughing so hard i almost lost a lung! It's spoken in Spanish, but they hard-coded the subtitles onto the film. Whoever did the subtitles must have dropped acid before sitting down at the computer.The subtitles move and jump all over the screen... there is a scene in the opening sequence, when you see the subtitles in a million different shapes and sizes! We even get treated to seeing a subtitle float out of a characters mouth! It was actually pretty funny. Maybe this is a comedy, because i'm LMAO just thinking about it!come to think of it, this movie is actually pretty f'n hysterical. It certainly has more laughs then "What Happens In Vegas", therefore i'm giving it a whopping 2 stars for bringing me to tears of joy... literally!

Im not gonna get into too many details cause most of you haven't seen it yet.The best part of this movie is right at the start. Its a scene where a few Mexican woman and children try to cross the US border. After this it gets hard to keep watching. The overall bad acting, bad shooting scenes, what actually is there not to find bad about this movie?? There are A and B quality movies and this one adds the F quality. Waste of time and waste of money(making it and watching it)even if it's a Monday night.I rated it 2 out of 10 for the trouble.
