Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:48 pm
Plot ... Strapped for money and having been deserted by her husband, working class Ray, reluctantly teams up with Lila, a widowed Mohawk Indian, to smuggle illegal immigrants across the frozen St. Lawrence River from Canada to the U.S. in the trunk of a Dodge Spirit. Both women swear each trip will be their last, but one final run across the river leads to a showdown with the law on all sides.
Cast ... Melissa Leo, Misty Upham
Review ... Two amazing performances by Melissa Leo and Misty Upham help make this film grimly realistic. Melissa Leo in particular delivers a Oscar deserving performance. We see a slice of life and a part of the country most of us will never encounter. This gripping story is a must see film. I highly recommend it!
Blu-ray picture and sound quality are good.
