EVERY DAY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ILLEGALLY CROSS OUR BORDERS… ONLY ONE THING STANDS IN THEIR WAY. AMERICA.Ā
Based on a short 1996 film, this ensemble piece wants to say Important Stuff about immigration as seen through the eyes of among others an empathetic police officer and an Australian actress who desperately needs a green card. Ambitious, but tries to cover too many bases and we donāt really learn anything new, except that green card troubles are nothing compared to honor killings. Ray Liotta and Alice Eveās ābusiness arrangementā doesnāt ring true, and Harrison Ford ought to have been a more compelling presence.
