Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This movie isn't for everyone. It isn't for people who are vehemently anti-violence. It isn't for people who need a feel-good story with a happy ending. That being said, this film had me literally on the edge of my seat for 2 1/2 hours and is a fantastic movie.People will want to compare this movie to other immigration films. This has dramatizations and has a coherent direction, while still being an incredibly suspenseful movie. I think the director did a great job.I wish they developed the secondary characters more, because I liked them so much. But it's not your typical Hollywood movie that introduces a protagonist and develops him/her until the conflict is resolved. This movie used the main character as a metaphor for America as a whole and that was really impressive.Much more than your average action movie, "Border Run" has a combination of bad ass scenes, phenomenal editing, and music, and a fantastic (mostly) true story with epic scope. I can't wait to see it again!

"Border Run" is a serious character study and a taut, suspenseful action thriller at once.The subject matter itself - immigration - yields most of the suspense but director Gabriela Tagliavini manages to squeeze out every bit of tension of the premise.The story is deeply emotional, depicting a thoroughly disturbed individual's life in hell. Sharon Stone gives an incredibly powerful performance All aspects of film-making are top-notch, from the brilliantly subversive screenplay through vivid cinematography, masterful directing and perfectly paced editing.I spent the entire film grabbing the arms of my seat. The tension, the suspense is at times breathtaking, literally. This movie is amazing and the definitive consecration of a great filmmaker. Kudos for everyone involved for making this film without compromising.

It's a shame they didn't use "Border Run" from the start. A much better title, that would also leave you with a little surprise (probably) towards the end of the movie. As it is, this is supposed to be the vehicle for Sharon Stone and a lot of actors have achieved great things with low budget movies. Something I guess she was expecting too. But the theme of the movie was the big seller.Controversial and not easy to chew, this movie tries to show how ridiculous the border situation is. But do we need a 90 minute to show us something we already know? You decide if that is necessary. You also have to judge the late in the game "twist" and if it really was necessary too. Whatever the case, the movie tries hard but kind of fails delivering (no pun intended).

It's going to be hard to not reveal any plot, as there didn't appear to be much of one.Sharon sure looked old, (Sorry, Shar); the nudity displayed was more of a shallow attempt to reach some aging demographic, I'm sure. I meant decrepit demographic. It's time to give up the sexual roles, dear. If they ever do a remake of the Wizard of Oz, I'm sure there will be a part for you.As for the rest, I've not seen such over-dramatic, emotionally unbalanced acting in a long time, maybe ever. It's as if the actors all thought they were the star. I'm thinking the director has a hand in this, obviously. "Give me MORE !! I want to hear those SCREAMS ! More crying !"With a weak plot that never was fully resolved, an inaccurate portrayal of the US Border Patrol/Customs Agents, the gratuitous violence and sexual scenes... ad nauseam (and those are the GOOD points of this dog), I recommend you spend the 2 precious hours of your life doing something else. Anything.
