Real Border Patrol Action
I first saw the movie in 1980 while a student at the Border Patrol Academy. I was trying to get an idea of what I was getting myself into. While the Border Patrol Agent's everyday on-duty life is not exactly as portrayed in the movie, this is the closest video to reality that is on the market. Charles Bronson is perfect for this role. In the movie, he is even wearing an old hat that a Border Patrol Agent gave him for the part. The USBP allowed the use of official emblems and badges and parts of the movie was filmed at an actual BP station. Of the three or four Border Patrol movies available, I think this one is the best.

It's Charles Bronson enough said!!
I dig most Bronson movies anyway so I'm a bit biased. A fav of mine from the 80s and I have not seen it since then. What I want to know is why is this selling for $47 ??? Oh well I'll have to wait a little longer. Sorry this was not a review but just me venting. A movie I will get someday but just not right now for this price. A good 3 star movie.

On The Borderline Of Sheer Boredom
Charles Bronson the man of action films was not his usual self in this film where he plays a chief border patrol officer who investigates illegal smuggling of imigrants led in by a sadistic killer played by Ed Harris(In his Film Debut)Hotchkiss. Who is backed up by an corrupt american bussinesman who uses these immigrants as slave labouers. Good story but had the people involved with this project showed a little more dramatic sequences to livin up the already bored viewer this could of been more of worthwhile effort. Bronson tries hard to show more acting but it seems like he rather blow some punk away with a service revolver like he did in `DEATH WISH` As for Harris who had a little more hair on his head at the time was a great villan but for the wrong film. It`s a shame his talent didn`t get noticed until he did THE ABYSS in 1989. The film wasted time trying to hammer into the audience`s minds the problem of illegal aleins being used for unstable working conditons and lost any good dramatic impact from it. There`s nothing wrong with bringing a message to the viewer but not at the expense of the entertainment value.
