Bordertown2007
Lies. Corruption. Murder. One reporter will break the silence.
American corporations are using the North American Free Trade Agreement by opening large maquiladoras right across the United States–Mexico border. The maquiladoras hire mostly Mexican women to work long hours for little money in order to produce mass quantity products. Lauren Adrian, an impassioned American news reporter for the Chicago Sentinel wants to be assigned to the Iraq front-lines to cover the war. Instead, her editor George Morgan assigns her to investigate a series of slayings involving young maquiladora factory women in a Mexican bordertown.

Bordertown straddles two realms: the worthy and the kitsch. The flimsy conspiracy theories floated here, coupled with pic's trite thriller plotting, risk trivializing the atrocities while it obfuscates their causes.
JLo is an arrogant and deplorable woman who doesn't know what quality and talent is. His works are hideous and dark.
I hated this movie. It's overly long, overly melodramatic, overly flashy, and overstays its welcome. It's also surprisingly lazy. It's a chore to watch, but I did appreciate the themes the script presented. There are many films out there that tell the story of NAFTA-influenced corruption out there than this one.
