The idea behind undocumented is truly terrifying. It would not surprise me to find that something similar to this goes on near the US border. However, as a film it is just a run-of-the-mill average torture-porn.
This film won't win any awards for creativity, writing, or acting. But for those who just want to watch a gory flick that appeals to your sense of empathy it does deliver. The gore is believable and there are plenty of gut-wrenching emotional scenes.
This isn't a thinking film. You won't come out of it scratching your head, ready to discuss its deeper implications. But it has more heart than your average slasher film.
Avid horror fans will not be impressed, but it's not a bad flick for the average film-going Joe.

This movie reminded me of The Most Dangerous Game where a hunter grew bored with hunting animals and turned to hunting humans instead.This hunter lived alone on a remote island and relied on the surrounding hidden rocks for the shipwrecks that supplied his victims. And so with Undocumented. The humans in this movie, the undocumented immigrants, would never be missed or could never be tracked. I found the movie very hard to watch but it was an effective a warning of man's inhumanity to man as you could get. Do I think that this could really happen......yes! Peter Stormare was very convincing as the psychopathic leader, Z, and I thought the acting was strong all round with an especially fine performance by Scott Mechlowicz as the lead journalist. This film was tight, tense and unforgiving to the senses but it's a story that needed to be told to remind us all that we are all brothers and sisters no matter where we come from or what our circumstances. And yes, we all have a Z inside of us waiting for that spark. Proceed with caution.
If Martyrs and Altroz and The Farm somehow merged together and had a baby hybrid, this is the baby that would come out. The movie is actually pretty decent. It's not great, but it was a fun watch. I think there is a deep message in this movie, and that's that even if you want to do the right good thing, do something good, sometimes it's just better not to.
Even though some segments in this movie seem unrealistic, like the Pinata scene, which was really out of place, for the most part, the movie is a wild ride. I would go that far to classify this as somewhat of a Grindhouse flick like Hobo With A Shotgun. It just has that kind of energy.
I understood for the most part what was going on, however, I wish I watched this with subs, but there were none. (There were English subs only in the Mexican parts). I was expecting that the blonde chick would be executed first, how much she fought against the villains. But luckily her boyfriend and the Mexican father survived.
I think there was a scene where a pregnant woman was supposed to be worked on, but that scene never occurred. I was preparing for that to be very graphic but they never showcased it, which is probably for the better.
If you are into a slasher and crime films like Altroz, or Teriffier, I think this would rock your boat. Z is insane.

I could not take my eyes off of the screen. The plot and performances were all top notch. My heart was racing through the entire movie and for long after. The story was totally believable and I felt sucked into the movie. This movie brings out the hero in you. Without giving anything away, it made you walk out of the theater thinking ... If I was in that situation, then I would have ____ (fill in the blank with something heroic). Many parts of the movie were very difficult to watch, yet I could not take my eyes off of the screen. This movie is a must see for anyone that likes Thrillers. It's not for weak stomachs. Scott Mechlowicz was amazing in the movie. This was his best performance yet.
Undocumented is about a couple of grad students making a documentary about illegal immigrants crossing the US border. But things go wrong when the vehicle that their in gets jacked by so called "Patriots".
Chris Peckover did a great job as a director. Throughout the movie i didn't really feel connected to the characters due to dumb decisions. But they also made some good ones. The acting is pretty good. It is a decent time waster but nothing to special. I would say check it out if you think it sounds cool. I wouldn't buy it on DVD unless its a good deal. It is on Netflix Instant Watch.
