It was a powerful, moving story about our country\'s immigrqation policies, which on the one hand have to be in place for security purposes, and the human trajedy of enforcment in some ************* w... hen families are split/ripped apart.; ie the deportation of one parent and one sibling to Iraq, never to see her two siblings or her father agai And the crushing ending when the young mother who was deported by Harrison Ford, who then finds her son and brings him to his grandparents in Mexico; all the while trying to re-unite mother and son, only to find out she died trying to cross the desert and sneak into the nUS on foot. My maternal grandparents were Italian immigrants who couldn\'t read, write, or speak English when they arrived on Ellis Island, but made the most of their opportunities and earned their respect based on hard work, familal values (11 kids to work the fileds). You coukld appreciate thendpt mof Homeland \'security\'s perspoective, and how some of the immigrants needed to be sent back. I thought it was awesome. Charlie Boyd Full Review

What a cast! Too bad though. Couldn'******* the whole movie. I guess Hollywood cannot produce a product without their far left slant..

A fast paced absorbing film depicting the many faces of immigration. It graphically shows how it impacts people in ways we spend little time considering. This was multi-faced and multi-faceted film ... worthy of anyone's time and money. c e st john Full Review

It's hard to believe that Kenneth Turan - the Los Angeles Times critic - saw the same movie I did. Perhaps if he is not into women he was offended by the nudity of the Australian actress with the per... fect body and face. I doubt that any straight men were. And it didn't bother me, because the contrast was startling when she was nude and Ray Liotta was fully dressed. She played her part well, and the point here, which Kenneth Turan missed, is that she was physically perfect, very talented, and driven - she had everything it took to succeed, so she did not have to grovel to that extent to become a successful actress. The point was that people lose perspective when trying to become legal citizens, just as the Korean kid did. It is an instructive movie meant to scare illegals into taking the correct legal steps. However, I disagree that ICE is that efficient in reality. If so, we don't hear about it, they keep it carefully covered up. Why would ICE cover it up if they managed to catch every single person doing something illegal (except the English actor who was lucky enough to encounter a manipulative, opportunistic rabbi).
