action
War is raging in the border area between Arizona and Mexico : TV reporter Sofie Talbert is a hardened and politically right-wing journalist who exposes illegal immigration and confronts the liberal representatives on site with her findings.
Sofie has to do her own research when her brother and temporary worker Aaron disappears in Mexico, which drives her further and further south into the interior of the country beyond the border. In search of her brother, she ends up in the deadly underworld of the country full of smugglers, ice-cold murderers and migrants. She quickly realizes that she cannot trust anyone there and feels the violence of the country firsthand.
production
The film was directed by Voltage Pictures for about 5 million US dollars produced and premiered on October 12, 2012 in the United States. It was released in Germany on September 13, 2013 directly on DVD and as Blu-ray Disc . The German premiere was on March 7, 2015 in the first .
criticism
The film-dienst described the film as a “crime drama with a pointed, if sometimes thickly applied socio-political message”, in which well-known actors “should emphasize the criticism of US foreign policy”. The Cinema ruled that the "story about the hotly debated US emigration policy" was "dripping with clichés with morally sour do-gooders platitudes" and was losing through a "holey, half-baked script".
