Review of Borderland (2007) by Immortal Disciple — 05 Jan 2010
This was pretty brutal. It had its moments but I've seen about the same gore in other flicks. Cleavers and a lot of machetes. A lot of swinging but not really much contact visuals to make me cringe and say "Oh God, stop already".
I think I cringed more with Casino Royale while Bond was getting whipped through a chair with the seat cut out in the 'Frank 'n' Beans'.
Never seen Sean Astin in anything like this. His part was fairly small but for what he did with it was quite good.
The story is very loosely based upon The Godfather of Matamoros aka Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo. Whom kidnapped a University of Texas student ; sacrificed, dismembered and burned him.
Most of the victims were rival drug dealers.
I think this film would have been much better if they had actually made it more closer to the truth or what was reported by the authorities but then again it happened in Mexico. : /.
How the fuck can you even trust the police reports from that shit hole.
