Federal Case Entertains

It is hard to find a movie with teenage characters in real adult grownup settings. Most teen films have kids driving around, getting in trouble but very few really show how to solve the big issues. Federal Case does a great job entertaining. the actors are wonderful and seems quite at home in their roles. The small town setting is both quaint and inviting and the courtroom drama is second to none. The scenes in Mexico Matamoros are both exciting and gritty. The movie is shot in Tony Scott style and is very effective. Great Job and Entertaining.

Gripping Film For Teenagers

Every so often a film comes around that is a real gem. Federal Case is such a film. Although millions of children are born our of wedlock. There are not a lot of films that deal with the subect in a dramatic fashion. This film does deal with it and you get a sense of both the hopelessness of a young girl fighting for what she believes is right against those who have the power to impose their believes on her. This film is riveting and is recommended for all teenagers and adults.

Hard to Find better film for teenagers.

It would be hard to find a better film for teenagers than Federal Case. It is important to empower teens and allow them to take the steps necessary to grow into responsible adults. When the main character finds herself forced to commit a deed so heinous and vile that it nearly rends her powerless she finds companionship that allows her to escape a dreadful future instead striking out on her own and growing in the process. Federal case has excellent actors and with a bevy of awards under its belt it is easy to see why it is an audience favorite.

Stars Kelly Nesper

How often could a first time actress pull off the role of a lifetime. This is a low budget independent films done in and out of Houston and Matamoros Mexico. the music is terrific all the actor sare quite good with Kelly Nesper stealing the show. The music highlights the ongoing pro-life vs pro-choice crowd with true heartfelt action and a riveting courthouse debate filmed beforearealaudieince inTexas. This is a must for every dating teenager.

NIce to have This Film For Teenagers

Federal Case was shot on the Texas Mexico border almost ten years ago yet the film still holds up to today's standards. What happens when teenagers view life differently than their parents. What happens when a parent is telling a pregnant teen to end it but the teen is committed to keeping the life growing within. All these subjects are handling in a great dramatic fashion. The footage from Mexico is exciting and authentic. The movie has the gritty Texas look we have all come to love.
