Hard-Hitting Reality!
1 July 2006
First of all i would like to congratulate Jackie Torres for making such a bold film with true to life story. In India it was hard to find this film in a DVD store. But what attracted me towards this film was that it was kept in a DVD store with 87 Review charts and 7 stars added to it. I was than forced to rent this film and i saw it. Believe me this is one of the best films i've ever seen on illegal immigrants. The director has tried to pull off real pain out of the actors. And she has succeeded in all her ways. Full credits to Jackie Torres!!! The performances especially of Mario Ramirez and the woman who played mother! Bought tears to my eyes. I actually don't cry so easily but yes! They both were just mind-blowing. The film i think was made with real actors and was shot real. That is what it seemed attractive. The camera work was just superb! The editing was a bit slow but hey! that is what the 'drama' genre is all about.

Finally a mind blowing cinema that is like a sweet poison you want more and more! Keep it up Jackie!!!
