Plot Summary

Now in Theaters. Miguel (Michael Peña) is a hardworking father and devoted husband wrongfully accused of murdering the wife of a former sheriff (Ed Harris) after he illegally crosses the U.S. border. In an effort to help her husband, Miguel’s pregnant wife (Eva Longoria) also attempts a crossing, but finds herself in the clutches of corrupt Mexican “Coyote” smugglers. The three find their lives intertwined as the ex-lawman investigates his wife’s death and unearths evidence that could destroy one family’s future, while saving the lives of the young couple. His discovery forces all sides to examine the complex issues of immigration and human trafficking that deeply affect the U.S. and Mexico. "Frontera" shows that while a border might divide the two countries, it can’t divide human decency.

Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: You wish that a filmmaker like John Sayles had grabbed the story by the throat and teased out its complexities. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, Sep 4, 2014

Fresh: No polemic, it's a poignant tale of human decency and redemption. – Claudia Puig, USA Today, Sep 4, 2014

Rotten: In trying to create a balanced portrait of the conflicts and the ordinary people affected by them, director Michael Berry... chips away at the authenticity and intensity that an issue-driven film like this sorely needs. – Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times, Sep 5, 2014

Fresh: Frontera is a showcase for actors: Ed Harris, in particular, does something we've seen him do before -- play the laconic man of principle -- but he's so good at it, you warm right up to his rhythms. – Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice, Sep 2, 2014

Very heavy handed politics

Illegal immigration is an emotional issue, but this pro-illegal immigration movie is filled with straw men. If you want a thoughtful movie that engages in the pros and cons on this controversial issue, stay away. If you want a movie that is filled with the worst possible aspects of those are concerned about the impact of illegal immigration, painting them as irresponsible racists who will do bad things to good people, this is your movie. This movie demonstrates the old adage that less is sometimes more. A less in your face heavy handed movie would have had more of a impact in causing people to make it easier for illegal immigrants to make it to the US.

Must see

Beautifully crafted, moving, and all around fantastic film. Do not miss this film.

Ed Harris Rocks!!!
