Quite compelling start to finish...


Despite the simple setting and minimal dialogue. It's hard to know who to side with an I'm sure most viewers will be divided. They are entering illegally but you can't help but empathize a bit with what it must be like to be in their shoes.

I think any normal person would side with the Mexicans. Yes they are doing something illegal, but they don't deserve to be hunted down like that!

I can't understand how anyone would be on the side of a cold blooded murderer. Even if you are against illegal immigration, there are LAWS and we do not have capital punishment for that crime. I would be seriously creeped out by anyone who sympathized with a mass murderer.

Of course, but I bet there are people who will. I wanted to see what kind of response I'll get.

Almost all the other comments on this movie are people who are calling the murderer a hero and calling the victims the bad guys.
Yes, the victims were breaking a law but we do not have capital punishment for that crime. The murderer was breaking way more serious laws.
