Bordertown (2007)
7/10
Maya Zapata
9 April 2008
The film, while not the best cinema I have seen based on real events, lays a solid effort all the way across. I thought it would be just a step above "China Cry", but it turns out that it is watchable. That is a good start.

Of all the acting in the movie, Maya Zapata, who played Eva, had the best acting of the whole crew. And that is including Sheen and Banderas. She played the girl factory worker suffering from her encounter very well. So lets just say I was impressed.

The film does show what is wrong with some of the agreements in NAFTA. The film goes to far in saying NAFTA is about slavery and money, which isn't exactly true. It gets a little too politically sided in one area. An agreement between nations on protecting workers rights would be the best conclusion to draw from this. That and the companies helping in protecting its workers more.

Overall, its a good effort. Give it a try. "B"
