The Boatman

This movie is so poignant with the current political climate in mind. The performances were powerful and the music and cinematography elevated the suspense of this film. I was completely engrossed!

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

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!

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.

A really authentic feel to the world-building in this indie gem. You can almost taste the sand in your mouth while following the characters through dry gulches and arid landscapes. Beautifully haunting soundtrack, lovely to look at and great sound design. Some memorable characters and acting make this a definite must-see.
