4.0 out of 5 stars Who are the real victims of NAFTA?, May 9, 2008

This review is from: I Witness (DVD)

This is a compact, competent and criminally underrated drama about the complicated affairs of our nearest neighbor. Jeff Daniels - expert as always - is a Human Rights observer sent to monitor the unionization of an American corporation in Mexico. "First they moved us to Tennessee," a factory foreman complains. "Then they moved us here. My wife wouldn't come." James Spader works for the US State Department, which doesn't seem to do much - even in the face of policemen beating up strikers. Two missing American motorcyclists and a collapsed tunnel full of bodies are part of the mystery. Don't make up your mind until you've seen it all. Solid and absorbing.

Human rights can be so easily manipulated as this film proves. Solid writing from Robert Ozn and Colin Greene mixed with the directing prowess of Rowdy Herrington make this a gripping, tense and uplifting experience. A definite must-see.

This review is from: I Witness (Amazon Instant Video)

This review is for the AMAZON VOD rental of this film. This is a good thriller
about the exploitation of workers in Mexico. Good, well paced story with nice
work from the actors. Jeff Daniels, James Spader and Portia de Rossi are very
good but Clifton Collins Jr. steals the show playing a honest Mexican policeman.
This film is well worth the VOD rental price.
