4.0 out of 5 stars good for its intentions, November 8, 2004
By 
Jeffery Mingo (Homewood, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Gatekeeper (DVD)
This film is about a biracial man from a single parent home. He is racist and xenophobic. His bigoted peers convince him to sneak across the border in order to help Border Patrol. The plan gets fouled and he finds out what happens to many Mexican immigrants: slavery, rape, and nefarious abuses. I know someone who thought this film was sexist, but I think the main character is meant to be confused and one of his ways of showing that is through misogyny. This director mortgaged his home in order to finance this film. He's a cutie and you get to see his body really quickly in this work. I wish him best of luck behind the camera, but I hope he gets to appear in front of the camera just as much. Many people outside of California and Texas believe anything they are told about "illegal" immigration; this film is a low-budget, but well-intentioned, attempt to try to reverse that discourse into progressive directions.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good movie with holes, October 18, 2004
By 
chicoer2003 "chicoer2003" (Fresno, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gatekeeper (DVD)
The movie is good, but it has holes and leaves viewers wondering what happened. Makes a good point of seeing a different view of illegal aliens.

3.0 out of 5 stars Manipulative and Clueless, December 1, 2006
This review is from: The Gatekeeper (DVD)
If anything this movie showed exactly WHY the U.S. needs to enforce it's already liberal immigration policies. What are meant to propagandistically emotionally manipulative scenes show specifically how neglect of our borders and laws merely benefits and profits the most expolitive coyotes and employers. And of course this film shows no awareness or irony regarding the reality that Mexico has the most stringent immigration laws in the world. Whenever the U.S. meekly struggles to enforce some measures, such are merely shadows of the Mexican reality. For example, in Mexico, being an illegal immigrant is a felony-helping someone immigrate illegally is also a crime. The Mexican government also ruitinely deports more illegal immigrants than the U.S. could ever dream of. I could go on.
