Movie Reviews of The Border
Movie Review: Harsh Realities of a Dream
Summary: 4 Stars
Dreams of the golden promised land and terrible conditions in their home country incite a Mexican woman to bundle her infant and follow the lead of her young teenage brother North across the border. Jack Nicholson plays Charlie Smith, a man trying to please his airheaded wife by leaving California to become part of the Texas border guard. The wife is played beautifully by Valerie Perrine, with other movie characters played quite well by Warren Oates and Harvey Keitel. Among the grit and sand of his new job Charlie encounters the young family and becomes involved in their journey as the promised land dream fades into harsh reality. This is a poignant movie, directed by Tony Richardson. It is scored well and has an ending that somehow makes the struggle seem less harsh and lifts the spirit.Movie Review: The Border
Summary: 4 Stars
As a former Border Patrol Agent and now Police Officer I found the movie to be quite in line with what was happening on our border during that time period and even today. The Border accuratly represents the law lessness that occured and is occuring along our borders. Great movie!Great job Jack!Movie Review: almost perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
The border is a great film,drama,action,and a feeling that jack is gonna snap and the fit will hit the shan before the end.the only problem is it ends way to quick,leaving a situation with his wife unresolved.but I guess a film that leaves you wanting more is a good thing?Movie Review: The Border is still very relevant. Story good, performance, too. Is too long
Summary: 4 Stars
relevant and real. I grew up in this part of America. I am almost 70 and can attest to the raw accuracy of the
film. Acting good. could have benefited from closer editing and been 20 minutes shorter
Movie Review: Like it really is.
Summary: 4 Stars
Jacks back. This tells some of the stories about the border as it really is. Its a nice story and true. Jack was very young back then and I hardly recognized him, but he still came through.
