Bordertown (2007)
7/10
Powerful! Thought-provoking!
6 January 2009
Jennifer Lopez stars as a fictional Chicago newspaper reporter turned on to story regarding the women of Juarez, Mexico, and the deplorable conditions they're forced to live under in order to care for their families. But a story based on adverse conditions quickly turns to a story of murder and big business cover-ups when a girl left for dead out in the desert after being attacked turns up with a story too juicy for Lopez to pass up.

This is a film that stirs any human being. I'm sorry, but if this movie does not touch your heart, than you are either one of those big businesses taking advantage of NAFTA or you're inhuman. I turned this movie on because Lopez was in it, but I stuck around for the story line, one that could make your heart sink, just thinking that someone who lives right around the corner in middle America could have a hand in covering something like this up. Normally, I comment on the movie and whether it was done right, good, and believable, but I can't get past the message in this film! Watch it!
