Frontera brings a story that more
or less equally affects both sides of the US-Mexican border. Loss, lies, betrayal
and pain has no borders and it does not favor a single color or a race. When illegal
immigrants have reasons of their own to justify their actions the other sides
justifies their actions too. This is a conflict and I believe that the movie
has done fair for both ends. But the important message that Frontera brings is
that humanity is at question and who will take responsibility to correct its
path.
The story evolve around two men
one from Mexico who is illegally immigrating to America and the other who owns
the land he trespasses through. When certain events take place where the
Americans wife is collateral they both cross paths and lives change.
Ed Harris who play the key role (Roy)
in the American side and Michael Pena who is the Mexican end (Miguel) both
brings in strong balance to the performances. Along with the acting and the
fine cinematography and the flow Frontera brings in a different experience to
different borders.
Beautifully acted and wonderfully
directed Frontera by all means is a fine thriller with a taste of a drama. It
strongly speaks of two sides of a same story and brings in a powerful
conclusion yet still not biased. The director seems to have worked hard on the
details and the flow as from start to end the movie is well gripping.
