FOUL AND BAD
I watched a good portion of the movie and I had to eject it and take it out. There was a lot of scenes that were inappriotate and the foul language didn't belong in the movie. It also was trying to make US LEGAL CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES feel sorry for the illegals coming across the border(s). I don't buy it!!!
If you are looking for a good clean movie, this ain't it. Good luck finding a better quality movie without a lot of the garbage in it.Across the Line

BORDER LINE
ACROSS THE LINE is an earnest, thoughtful film about the plight of illegal immigrants, but as an action or thriller, it's only borderline. Director Martin Spottl keeps things moving at a good pace, but much of the action borders on the improbable and fills some of the roles too stereotypically. Sigal Eraz who stars as Miranda co-wrote the script and she infuses a sense of wonder and awe in these Guatemalan natives who think everything in America will be wonderful. The realistic fact that America has its share of no goodnicks hits home hard. Brad Johnson is a sturdy, heroic figure as the sheriff who faces losing an election, until his crooked brother steps in. The plot basically revolves around Eraz who witnesses the border patrol (led by a sinister Brian Bloom) off a bunch of drug dealers they were dealing with and also a vacationing couple (an underused Adrienne Barbeau as the wife) who happened to witness the crime. The late character actor JC Quinn has a nice role as a restaurant proprietor, and Justin Urich does a good job as the naive rookie who ends up getting caught in the mechanisms of Bloom's nastiness.
Although it doesn't set any standards for novelty in this genre, ACROSS THE LINE is diverting entertainment.Across the Line

Great action, storyline and cast
Brad Johnson and Brian Bloom made this a flick to remember. Their portrayal of the reclusive sheriff and the crooked, cocky border patrolman made for an awesome flick. The female heroine was hot and her character very believable. The action made this a flick to remember and the plotline twists were well written. This is definitely a great kick-back fick. Johnson and Bloom are two really great guys who lots of us can relate to.Across the Line

Sigal Erez is awesome! She should be in more movies. The film takes several unexpected twists and unveils with a quiet cool intelligence. If you like John Sayles, "Lone Star", then you'll like this.Across the Line
