Thoughts before I watched this.
1. This has been on my to watch list for 4 years.
2. I'm not entirely sure why I didn't watch it then, but I've decided to finally give it a shot.
3. Apparently people say this is a disturbing kind of movie.
4. It has a few great TV actors and freaking Peter Stormare.
5. This seems to be the only film from writer/director Chris Peckover.
6. The same goes for co-writer Joe Peterson.
7. Without further ado let's get this show on the road.
"A documentary crew accompany a group of illegal immigrants crossing the Border, but their plans run afoul when they are captured by a gang of sadistic radicals in New Mexico."
Thoughts while I watched this.
1. The way this was talked about I assumed it was pure found footage.
2. It is not.
3. Aww the poor guy!
4. Sometimes America really sucks...
5. Really not a smart boyfriend.
6. Dirty old man as usual.
7. The families here are so loving.
8. Isn't it a bad idea to film illegal immigrants to show to people even if for a good reason.
9. They can easily be reported by someone unless they block their faces I suppose.
10. That doesn't seem like a good sign at all.
11. Ah from here on it looks like it will be found footage.
12. Oh man that's no good.
13. That's messed up.
14. Yeah saying your American doesn't work as well as it used to.
15. Why ARE they blindfolded?
16. That's a disturbing sight to see.
17. You don't have to see his face to know that voice.
18. How sad is that! :(
19. So I find it disturbing that Peter Stormare's character has such a strong accent so he is possibly an immigrant too albeit possibly legal.
20. So to think that legal immigrants killing illegal immigrants is actually pretty haunting compared to born Americans doing it as well.
21. Not that either is anything to take lightly.
22. Everyone isn't a drug lord or mule though.
23. That's wrong on so many levels.
24. Well things are quite twisted for sure.
25. This guy is way too happy to be here.
26. Yeah so that's proof that some of these guys are either here legally or born here.
27. So unfair and cruel.
28. This is a truly tough scene to watch.
29. Wow!
30. So heartbreaking.
31. Well that was a close call if ever there was one.
32. That was so unsettling!
33. That would be the first time I turned down pancakes.
34. The "scarecrow" guy is want sick dude!
35. Man these guys are just plain evil.
36. Not just evil but psychotic as well.
37. What a horrid party.
38. Brutal times, brutal measures.
39. Kind of bittersweet ending.
40. There is little clips during the credits of actual border crossing incidents.
Thoughts after I watched this.
1. It's a movie that shows a story that is very likely something that happens.
2. It is well acted and the characters are interesting.
3. They utilize every character well except for maybe the boyfriend.
4. For once not a lot of this is predictable.
5. It's heartwrenching and it keeps you on the edge of your seat.
6. Chris Peckover and Joe Peterson need to keep doing movies.
7. I recommend giving this a watch as long as you aren't squeamish.
