Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
blankenshipdk A one note concept where all the action is directed toward a central driving theme and a marginally melodramatic premise that never transcends the anticipated. The story is populated with under developed characterizations except in the case of the Mexicans who are reduced to mere stereotypes that are more cartoonish than human. Mexico generally is presented as a hellhole littered with beaters, bandits, lovable tykes wielding pistols and whorehouses which is apparently the terror one must endure to obtain an organ transplant pronto. No serious examination, other than cursory explanations, are posed regarding the origin or ethics of said internal organs as long as our lovable little muffin gets hers until the conclusion when we get steamrolled by the inevitable moral predicament. We can only imagine a stream of Mexican citizens with surgical scars saying " we don't need no stinkin' kidneys ". At some point there are of course home based drug factories with unsavory types and machine gun massacres but I don't exactly know why. An initial subplot involving the protagonist-attorney's relationship with a client implying grave portent is dropped altogether. The actors are skilled pros who give it their best and are engaging even if the material is essentially one dimensional. The film is well paced which helps gloss over the deficiencies. A heavy handed public service announcement with a pensive soundtrack wrap up this downer.
jotix100 Imagine the plight of a father who has to watch a child who is dying because of the need an organ transplant in order to live. That is a fact that Paul Stanton and his wife Diane have to face on a daily basis without the remote possibility of a solution to their daughter getting better. If you are a man like Paul Stanton, a district attorney from New Mexico, you have to act immediately if he wants to save young Chloe's life.The Stantons see bureaucracy at work first hand. When a young boy is killed in a car accident, his organs are harvested for transplant. They beg to have the boy's lungs for Chloe, but there are other cases awaiting the same thing. They are denied the opportunity only to learn the organ could not be used on the intended patient because of the distance it took to get to that part of the country.Help comes in the way of a tip from a sympathetic doctor, who at the expense of losing her job, points out to Paul's superior, James Harrison, as having been removed from the waiting list for a donation. Confronting Harrison proves to be right, because it gives Paul the name of a doctor in Mexico responsible for the heart Harrison bought and received.Next, Paul ventures into Juarez, a Mexican border town notorious for the death capital of the world. Paul has no idea what he is getting into. He is robbed, beaten and threaten with blackmail by unscrupulous individuals because he is getting too close to finding the mafia behind the organ commerce in that country.When he stumbles into Miguel and his gang, Paul gets lucky, for the boy, in spite of his aggressive nature and attitude, points him to a doctor who belongs to a criminal ring of trafficking the badly needed organs. Chloe, whose condition deteriorates, is taken to Mexico, where this doctor is going to do the ultimate transplant, at the expense of a young boy, a member of Miguel's gang. Paul has no other alternative but to do the right thing.The film is a thriller told in almost documentary style. The action keeps moving backward and forward, something that is a bit disorienting, but the suspense never stops, enhanced by the musical score James Newton Howard created for the film. Directed with style by Baltasar Kormakur, the Icelandic director of "The Sea", "Jar City", and "A Little Trip to Heaven", he did not get a regular commercial run of his film. Instead it was shown in Europe in a different format, which is probably the version that we watched on an international cable channel recently because the original running time of 100 minutes were reduced to a mere 83. Perhaps that is the reason we felt disoriented by the arrangement of the material. The film was based on a story by Christian Escario and the screenplay was written by Walter Doty and John Caflin.Dermot Mulroney makes a virile Paul Stanton. The love of his daughter makes him go against powerful enemy, a criminal organized crime group that include a so called prestigious medical charity organization. Diane Kruger is relegated to an after thought as Paul's wife. Sam Shephard plays Jim Harrison. Jordi Molla is Aguilar, the corrupt police chief. Vincent Perez appears as Dr. Martinez. A terrific Kristian Ferrer has some good moments as Miguel, the young gang leader.
hectorspad A dark film with a good plot, the film is well worth a watch with an all to realistic script which certainly gets you thinking. The plot revolves around illegal organ donation and a couples desperate attempt to save there daughter. For me the issues that this film bring to the fore are the fact that organ donation in certain parts of the world is typically controlled by organised crime. I'm sure if the film had a more high profile cast it would certainly have received more acclaim. The only small criticism was the ending but hey when all said and done this is Hollywood . Once you have seen the film google the Mexican town it's set in unbelievable been subject of numerous documentaries on discovery. Good film give it a watch!
erenkongu I had a chance to watch this film in my free time and in all fairness it was a chance.When i read the instruction of film before watch it , i supposed it would be a mundane and happy-ending film but i were surprised.I also want to thank to scenarist of the film due to mention about the illegal organ transplantation system all over the world and how people are worthless in Mexico.It is worth to watch this film.I think point of the film should be higher soon.Enjoy it !
