The movie is set in the Wild West. The former police captain’s wife is killed while she is taking care for their farm. The former and current police captain set out to search for justice but their lives are also changed forever.
The actors are compelling, and the issue is, of course, always worth discussion. It's not a great movie, but, if nothing else, Frontera is worthwhile on those fronts.
Ed Harris brings such world-weary gravitas to his role as a grieving widower...that he comes close to making up for the picture's sometimes clunky narrative.
I liked everything about this film, the writing by Michael Berry (who also directed the film) and Louis Moulinet, the pace, the editing, by Larry Madaras ('American Beauty') and the acting is excellent by the entire cast.
This is trying way too hard to be Crash in the desert. The performances are dull, the story is worn out, and the film just doesn't know when to call it quits. As far as entertainment goes, Frontera is the slowest rolling tumbleweed around.
In trying to create a balanced portrait of the conflicts and the ordinary people affected by them, director Michael Berry... chips away at the authenticity and intensity that an issue-driven film like this sorely needs.
