A gem of a film

This film was such a nice surprise! I watched the trailer and thought why not give it a spin... I'm glad I did. I was very impressed as to this film's quality. I thought the story was terrific and so timely with everything going with human trafficking and the drug cartels. I really liked the lead male actor. I thought he was really good. I enjoyed the rest of cast too, but for me he really stood out. So "The Boatman" gets a thumbs up from me!!

Different type of movie. Must see

Invoice glad I came across this movie. With everything going on right now with the border issues, this was great timing. This film is about a man who's really good with getting people across the border to the USA by boat. He develops issues with a drug cartel who. Some into his area creating problems. The movie is slow for a while then it gets good. Things gets really good and the movie takes off from there. Loved the way they ended it. Must see

Film didn't show me what it needed to

This movie sells the idea that the Protagonist is the best smuggler in the business. I never experienced viscerally how in detail he did that, and that was a crucial part of my investment in the 1st act, all I saw were boring generic shots of a boat on the river and walking by the bush, and pretty much throughout the film it's the same thing or lack thereof. Show me that he's the best smuggler in the region, I need to experience it, I didn't, this character isn't memorable, impactful because of it, I hoped he was based on the premise and how he talked the talk in certain scenes but I never seen him walk the walk...shame!

Timely and believable

Compelling film that, at times, felt like a documentary. Very intense. Oscar Torre's performance is especially riveting. The Latin guitar music fit well for the score! Most of all this film brings to life the struggle facing many immigrants today. Ripped from today's headlines and I can't help but wonder if that will help this film find a wider audience.

Build The Wall!!

Really enjoyed the movie but really I thought the female lead was not good and distracted from the whole thing. A very interesting twist of the story which I really didn't see coming. I spent a lot of the movie wondering where it was filmed, and to see that it was filmed in the dismal part of CA called Lancaster is not a surprise. Anyone who has been there can attest!! All in all not too bad of a watch.

Anecdotes
To judge from the fact that Proserpina's (Yvonne DeLaRosa) knife is terribly dull and by the way she cuts the lemon wedges, it's clear that she has no idea how to cut fruit for her bar. This could point to her having inherited the motel and bar or having bought it without knowing much about the business she was getting into by purchasing it. It's a subtle way of filling in her character by either the actress or the director.
