CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

matthewmg-18613 There are a multitude of things that go on his world that we as comfortable first world couch potatoes don't really know exist. This story takes the viewer into the world of human smuggling across the American and Mexican boarders, and the struggles associated with the issues at the border.The cast performed wonderfully, the story could have contained a little more, but it did not take away from the overall message.I recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good Indie Film. Sometimes it's the mistakes and little quirks that makes these movies so real.I voted this picture a 10 due to the time-frame that it was shot, the low budget, and the high quality of the background, cast and production crew.

Steve B For most, I don't know if the story will warrant the high score that I give it but for me it does. Its very relevant to the times.The struggle with what is right, what you could just let happen (wrong) and the crime story behind it all is very interesting to me.The old sheriff is true to his morals. He pursues the story to its end. I am not sure if Ed Harris is my favorite, but he is good in this. Michael P is just great. Some of the film is almost too hard to watch. The struggles of folks represented are just awful. Something to keep in mind when topics about these folks come up.

TxMike We were able to watch this movie via Netflix streaming movies. The illegal crossings of Mexicans into the USA has been big news in 2014 and this movie bridges on that. It does not attempt to encompass the issue but uses a small fraction of the issue to build this drama.It involves a basically hard-working an honest Mexican, Michael Peña as Miguel, who has been caught and deported before and tries again, he wants to find work so that he can make a better life for his family.His wife is played by Texas native, Eva Longoria as Paulina. Even though the actress was in her late 30s she was able to look much younger here. She is pregnant and also tries to cross but gets in with a bad band and is assaulted, along with a group of others.The central story with an older couple with a ranch on the border in New Mexico, Ed Harris as Roy, former sheriff, and his wife Amy Madigan as Olivia. When she rides her horse out that day she doesn't return alive. The Mexicans discovered nearby are accused of her murder and locked up. But Roy, as distraught as he is, has an other idea what happened. Unravelling that mystery is what the movie is all about.Well-acted and well-written, good movie. Harris is his usual reliable self.SPOILERS: In a parallel story we see three young men go out on Roy's property, and near the border are looking for Mexicans to shoot at, presumably to scare them. But when Olivia was talking to Miguel and his buddy a shot rang out, spooked the horse, she fell off and split her head on a large sharp rock. One of the young men was the son of the current sheriff and the sheriff's high-powered rifle was used. Roy recovered shell casings matching what the sheriff reloaded with. Getting the boys to finally come clean cleared the Mexicans, Roy rode Miguel to the border fence on his property, asked Miguel to (from the Mexico side) keep it in repair and Roy would pay him, they would meet a certain time each week. But a rogue sniper had Miguel in his cross-hairs, was about to shoot him when Roy is shown with a pistol to the sniper's head. The sniper's 4X4 had a sticker on the back window "Americans doing the job the government won't" on an elongated American flag background.
