Bordertown

Storia che parte da un disagio vero di quella che è forse la frontiera più nota al mondo e che ha il merito di raccontarne una sfumatura poco conosciuta. Purtroppo però il montaggio e la sceneggiatura sono dozzinali, banali nell'esecuzione e sottomessi dalla pessima performance di Jennifer Lopez che carica di tensione ogni suo singolo sguardo risultando totalmente fuori luogo rispetto alla semplicità delle performance di quasi tutti gli altri attori. Una soap opera mascherata da film a cui si aggiunge una regia vecchia e non brillante. Alla fine viene salvata solamente l'idea.

Great movie and an interesting but sad story line

A very amazing movie of true events with the best actors they could've chosen. A real tear dropper but not without a sense of relief at the end. I hate it when you watch a movie and it's so predictable but this movie had roller coasters. The plot line was amazing and very realistic.

Fantastic! I was in suspense for the whole movie and really loved it. JL was in her glory.

Good film Great movie

My opinion. Boring. 👎👎👎

I wonder why this movie went straight to DVD in the United States. Many reviews on here criticize J. Lo and the oversimplification of the story, but this is indeed a movie worth watching; it's a story based on real events. Regardless of J. Lo's ego and the lack of detail, there was a story here and an unpopular one at that. I thought the movie was excellent and J. Lo has come a long way in her acting. It's clear she was passionate about the film and story probably because she is of latin descent and a woman. If these critics can't see that, maybe their egos are too big 🤷🏽‍♀️. Anyways worth watching and worth thinking about.

Good story line, not so good screenplay. The stellar cast carries the weak presentation of the plot and the movie drags because of it. Forgettable.

This is definitely a powerful and engrossing outing. Anybody unfamiliar with the all-too-real Juarez murders can skip the textbooks and learn a lot here. Well acted and beautifully shot.... but I was a bit annoyed by the overused burning-building-showdown.

While this is not a great movie in terms of acting and such, this is a disturbing story. Is the emphasis on NAFTA overdone? I don't know, but the connection between unchecked capitalism and violence against women is pretty clear.
