Upon Entry

This one felt like: "Ok, what kind of movie can we film to engage as many viewers as possible? Who's the target audience? Most likely those are people who can afford to travel overseas, which means they've all been through security and customs control so let's make a story out of it because people will want to see it!" So yes, I wanted to see it, I bought the ticket, came to the theatre and watched it in its entirety - mission complete. Is that enough?

I am meaning to say the movie is well built-up and really interesting to watch, with a lot of suspense, but please help me! I missed the point, what's the message?

A Spanish speaking couple is entering the US with their visas in hope for a new life, the border police decide to question them both together and separately, which becomes a painful and unnerving experience for both of them. I liked the way the interrogation was built up and acted out, I even liked the ending but did I like the film?
