OK, let's discuss the cinema verite.
All mexicans are good, family oriented, extraordinarily poor innocent people who only want to come to America the land of opportunity.
Of course, when you are on the wrong side of of the law, things tend to go haywire.
In a very obtuse way, this film reminded me of Midnight Express -- you know the film where libby liberal Hollywood wanted us to feel sorry for a guy who wants to brings back tens of pounds of pot to sell in the states, gets caught and is thrown in a Turkish prison.
From the get go there's no involvement in the main characters because they are breaking the law.
And to this point, if these Mexicans are so poor, how can they dig up thousands of dollars to be transported over the border? For next to nothing, they can buy a used car and drive over the border legally and just never go back.
It's ridiculous.
Ohm and then there's the fact they don't even look Mexican and dress way too nicely and have way too designer hairdoos to be remotely poor.
So in the first 10 minutes you just don't care about them and can't wait for the violence to ensue.
Parenthetically, one has to wonder why the "american" vigilantes all have Mexican accents. Jeeze this film is dumb.
One more thing -- when are you hack writers and directors going to stop putting in the signal less cellphone in the picture? It's been done in every movie like this. We get it.
It's dumb.
Let's be frank, this flick is nothing more than a pandering exploitation flick hoping to cash in on real problems the filmmakers are too dumb and vapid to understand.
It's a bore fest.
The hot chicks on vacation scenario is far more believable and entertaining. Go with that concept next time.
