This story takes a true and horrific situation and overlays an incredulous premise. To buy-in to this storyline you have to believe the rape and murder of women in Juarez in not only due to social changes brought on by industrialization... Full review

The Grammy-winning Los Tigres del Norte appear in one scene, telling a courageous story through song.
While the characters give the movie heart, tossed-off lines of dialogue and song lyrics add funny political commentary.

Bordertown has so many things happening, the story almost seems fractured at times, causing some harm to the overall flow and impact.
Jennifer Lopez is a wonderfully strong character as Lauren.

Film School Rejects
She seeks help from local journalist-activist and old friend-we all know what that means- -Antonio Diaz (Banderas), but hes not very happy about it.
Director Gregory Nava totally blows the chance to make a movie that deals honestly with a subject so delicate that its not even in the news.
