Roy: [in Spanish] This fence has been pushed over, cut, stepped on... I'm tired of repairing it. But I'm not taking it down.
Roy: Here's what I propose. I will pay you for your time and materials, if you repair the fence on a regular basis. You can do the work from your side of the fence. You're going to need to purchase some materials. Here's money to get you started. We'll meet here every Thursday around the same time, and we can speak about what sections need to be repaired. Okay? Okay.
Roy: You can go ahead and cross back through here. Your father-in-law will pick you up down the road.
Miguel: [speechless]
Roy: That's my horse. So you go ahead.
Miguel: [dismounts]
Roy: So I'll see you next Thursday?
Miguel: [yes]
Roy: Okay...
Miguel: Thank you very much.
Roy: You're welcome, Miguel... Goodbye... Good luck.

Excellent modern western just let down a bit by the rushed ending

Two Mexicans trying to cross the border are implicated in a murder they didn't commit. The film follows the fallout as the dead woman's husband pieces together the mystery of who was responsible for her murder.

This is an excellently played and filmed modern day western drama which thankfully steers clear of many of the obvious clichés and is never predictable. The intelligent script sparkles and is helped by a superb cast led by Ed Harris, Michael Pena and Eva Longeria all of whom put in superb performances.

The ending for me was a little rushed and disappointing and therefore it just falls short of a great movie in my opinion. This is just a personal opinion though and for others it may work out fine.

Frontera is a good addition to the modern western genre and well worth watching.
