Photography was great, acting was fair but story line was weak. The Hispanic border agent made incredibly stupid choices through out the move. I felt the movie was trying to make some sort of political statement . The ending left me disappointed and like it was an unfinished book.

Honestly this movie looked good up until the first couple of minutes when the Hispanic man working for the border patrol spoke Spanish, oh my goodness like why! If his "mom" speaks only Spanish and she has a heavy accent then it's only right if he does too. I honestly clicked off the movie once the Americans were having a shootout with the "Drug Dealers" that scene was just too long and there was little to no cover for the men to hide from being shot at. It was surprising how it took them 5 minutes to take down one of the drug dealers that was shooting at them, the guy was at least 3 feet away and he had no cover. It was a 3 against 1. Honestly if you wanna get a good laugh then watch this movie, I don't think this movie she be taken seriously. But I give it a 2 stars because the script wasn't to bad.

I watched it on Netflix. It looks like they spent some money on this movie. However, the movie dragged and was uninteresting. I fast forwarded half of the movie. The ending also sucked. My recommendation is skip it.

Off the bat unbelievable, and not in a good way, and then it get worse. I don't review many movies on here, but I feel like I would be doing a public disservice if I don't warn people against this awful Fox News meets Sicario miscarriage of a movie.

What could have been good was made virtually unwatchable. The story is ok (betting it was inspired by Sicario) it's hard to pick a good scene because there really aren't any.
The acting... rubber, wooden, abysmal spring ro mind. The only saving grace would possibly be the cinematography, at least they tried but, it really is a case of putting Lipstick on a Pig.
Not worth you time.

Going into the movie knowing it had a substantially low budget, I wasn't expecting much. I was quite surprised to find that the acting was pretty good (VERY good in some cases) and the production quality matched films with a much higher budget.
The overarching storyline is a battle of morals as an upstanding agent is pared off with another with a dark background. Many other facets are present as well, ranging from a very relevant drug crisis to poverty and immigration issues through the eyes of a naturalized Mexican American Border Patrol agent who, at times, finds himself not belonging on either side of the border.
I found the film was able to keep my attention well and not a bad way to spend a few hours.

Ok, so my husband & watched this tonight. Acting wasn't awful, no academies but story line good. But come on!! Where was the ending? Is there a pt2? Before U watch, well gotta prepare urself. At first we thought the power went out as screen turned blk for a moment & boom, credits rolling. We even rewound but nope, it's like they ran out of money & the editor wasn't pd, so he just ended it. Seriously, how ignorant! My 1st & 2nd graders could have found an ending!
If anyone gave this POS more than a two star rating, they were one of the "stars".

I saw it on Netflix and thought it looked interesting. I fast forwarded through most of it. The writing could have used a few more passes to keep the plot moving, but it's not a big budget film. Ultimately, don't waste your time.
WOW where should I start-low budget piece of bad acting movie! very bad spanish!! Even the english they spoke was horrible!! Whoever thought this movie was a good idea to produce should get tortured for an entire105mins.

I wont spoil.it but there is no ending to this movie. Builds up extremely slowly to an ending that just doesn't come. Unbelievably disappointing movie.

We have seen this movie ten or twenty times before, but never with such terrible acting.
