- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2013I thought this movie was well made with good writing and great acting. Sharon Stone is fantastic, along with the supporting cast. I'm not sure why some have given this film a bad review. It's an action thriller with good social commentary laced into it without being preachy ... it's an action/thriller! It runs on all cylinders as well as providing some insight and also allowing us to really empathize with the Immigrants trying to get into this country - heartfelt.
And to one negative review about Sharon Stone's character - it's one thing to have knowledge about what goes on, it's another thing when you get out of your office, go to a different country and begin to experience it.
Not sure why I didn't see this in the theaters. I believe it got an "R" rating (not sure why) but that is usually the kiss of death for a film like this. There is an intense, EXTREMELY well done (technically) scene that implies rape. Actually, the best I've ever seen. And I don't like violence and from the way it was shot I would say this director doesn't either.
It's entertaining and has a social conscious!

Sharon Stone, probably best known for crossing her legs in Basic Instinct, brings some real acting and emotion into Border Run, which by most standards would be considered B-grade.
To its benefit the story is strong enough to raise it up a notch or two.
Sofie Talbert (Stone) is a Phoenix television reporter with right-wing tendencies. In real life, Sharon is more liberal. She is even an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church, so she had to do some acting. She’s working on a story about people crossing the border. “Thousands try to cross into the U.S. illegally every year,” Sofie says. “Each person carries a story, this is one of them and I didn’t know at the time but this story is also mine.”
She gets deeper into the story, by accident, when she calls her brother (Billy Zane) to tell him about her big break. She hears gunshots over the phone.
So she begins a search for her missing brother. Eventually she finds herself as cargo in a hidden compartment under an 18-wheeler with other hopeful mexicans. Sofie is befriended by a wolf (one who smuggles illegals). One can imagine the conditions - trapped in a compartment, with hot asphalt below, no water and no food. One man dies, so the lead smuggler, a very violent female, discovers Sofie. At first she is going to kill her but then knows her body count will be off by one.
Border Run takes a little while to grab hold, but once is does holds your attention. Do yourself a favor and search out this little film from Anchor Bay Entertainment.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2016DVD arrived in great condition n plays great.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2013Sharon Stone portrays a stellar female reporter, the proverbial toast of the newsroom. Within a few minutes of this film, she makes minced meat out of an sneaky female politician, thus giving the viewer the sense that Stone is going to play a brilliant and savvy journalist and human being. Unfortunately that it falls apart when her brother goes missing in Mexico. The police won't help, don't care, so Stone decides to get the job done herself.
Having no idea where to start looking, Stone engages the help of a co-worker. They drive to a random section of the southern border where they encounter a border fence and armed guards. Low-and-behold, Stone sees her brother`s blood-tinged hat dangling from the top of the fence. Lawdy, it's a miracle! Ignoring the guards and their automatic weapons, Stone rushes towards the fence and begins climbing. Despite the hail of bullets unleashed on her and her coworker, Stone retrieves the hat, scurries back down the fence and runs across the sand, ultimately dodging all the bullets. The duo hide behind a small wooden shed that has no earthly purpose for being there other than to shield the stars. Seconds later, after the gunfire has stopped, Stone and her friend shrug and decide it's safe to leave. They walk away from the shed and stroll unmolested back to the car. It's utterly ridiculous.
It goes downhill from there.
The producers should have allowed Stone to play a character her own age. Instead, they plastered her with bright red lip stick, decked her out in a hairdo fit for a high school prom queen, hoping we wouldn't notice a 55-year-old actress who naturally wrinkles and ages like the rest of us. It's grossly distracting, as is Stone's constant shock and bewilderment every time she encounters more drug cartels, human smugglers and violence along the way. I don't even know if she eventually found her brother. I don't care. I stopped watching and found something better to do. You will too.

4.0 out of 5 stars La Stone erfährt die Kehrseite des amerikanischen Traums und den täglichen Alptraum an der amerikanisch-mexikanischen Grenze
Der amerikanische Traum vom Tellerwäscher zum Millionär lebt weltweit und ist für viele Mexikaner die große Hoffnung der Perspektivlosigkeit zu entkommen und auf einen Neustart im reichen Nachbarland zu hoffen. Tausende und abertausende Mexikaner leben in Grenzstädten entlang der amerikanischen Grenze und hoffen täglich darauf ins scheinbar gelobte Land zu kommen. In dieser Zusammenballung aus Hoffnung und Angst, Perspektivlosigkeit und Tristesse ist eine Gemengelage entstanden, in der Verbrechen wie Menschen- und Drogenschmuggel, Mord, Raub und Vergewaltigungen an der Tagesordnung sind und einige dieser Grenzstädte mit zu den gefährlichsten Plätzen dieser Welt haben werden lassen. In dieser Welt des Menschen- und Drogenschmuggels spielt auch die amerikanische Independent Produktion BORDER RUN – TÖDLICHE GRENZE (Originaltitel: The Mule), die die Produktionsfirma Voltage Pictures im Jahr 2012 mit einem überschaubaren Budget von 5 Mio. USD produziert hat.
In einer dieser Grenzstädte arbeitet Aaron Talbert (Billy Zane) als Sozialarbeiter, der auch immer wieder Mexikaner bei der gefährlichen Flucht über die Grenze unterstützt. Als Aaron bei einer seiner Touren in Bedrängnis gerät und verschwindet bekommt dessen Schwester Sofie (Sharon Stone) dies durch ein abgerissenes Telefonat mit. Sofort macht sich Sofie Talbert, eine engagierte Journalistin, entschlossen auf den Weg, um nach dem verschwundenen Bruder zu suchen. Doch obwohl Sofie eine abgebrühte Journalistin ist, muss sie bald erkennen, dass die Realität noch viel schlimmer ist, als sie diese von ihren Artikeln her kennt. Und so stellt sich schnelle die Frage, wem man an einem Ort vertrauen kann, wo jeder Fehler unweigerlich den Tod bedeuten kann?
Inszeniert wurde der Thriller von der argentinischen Regisseurin Gabriela Tagliavini (The woman every man wants, 2001; Ladies night, 2003; Without Men, 2011) die sich dabei auf die volle Unterstützung ihres Zugpferdes verlassen konnte. Sharon Stone, die in den 90er Jahren durch Filme wie TOTAL RECALL – DIE TOTALE ERINNERUNG (1990), BASIC INSTINCT (1992) und CASINO (1995) zu einer der weltweit bekanntesten Darstellerinnen geworden war, besitzt zwar nicht mehr die Strahlkraft jener Jahre, doch ihr Name sorgt immer noch für die nötige Aufmerksamkeit, die eine kleine Independent Produktion mit solch einem schwierigen Thema benötigt. Sharon Stone, für die der Film eine Herzensangelegenheit war hat diesen Film ebenso mitproduziert wie Rosemberg Salgado, der in diesem Film eine der männlichen Hauptrollen innehat. Das Drehbuch der beiden Autoren Don Fiebiger und Amy Kolquist basiert auf einer wahren Begebenheit. Die Bilder stammen von Kameramann Andrew Strahorn, der mit Regisseurin Tagliavini bereits bei deren vorherigen Film WITHOUT MEN zusammengearbeitet hatte und der darüber hinaus auch für die Genrefilme wie HOSTEL 3 (2011), oder BUTTERFLY ROOM – VOM BÖSEN BESESSEN (2012) die Bilder einfing. Die musikalische Untermalung stammt von den beiden argentinischen Filmkomponisten Emilio und Sebastián Kauderer.
Da die Besetzung des Filmes überwiegend aus mexikanischen Darstellern besteht, dürfte den meisten neben Sharon Stone nur noch Billy Zane etwas sagen. Zane hatte einst in Filmen wie TODESSTILLE (1989), DAS PHANTOM (1996), oder auch TITANIC (1997) große Rollen inne. Einzig das Gesicht der ebenso tödlichen wie skrupellosen Juanita könnte dem einen oder anderen bekannt vorkommen. Giovanna Zacarias wirkte 2005 im Blockbuster DIE LEGENDE DES ZORRO mit.
Die internationale Kritik zu diesem Film ist sehr durchwachsen. So bezeichnete beispielsweise der film-dienst den Film als „Krimidrama mit pointierter, wenn auch mitunter dick aufgetragener gesellschaftspolitischer Botschaft, bei dem bekannte Schauspieler der Kritik an der US-Außenpolitik Nachdruck verleihen sollen, während die Cinema urteilte die „Geschichte über die hitzig debattierte US-Einwanderungspolitik triefe vor Klischees mit moralinsauren Gutmenschplattitüden und verliere durch ein löchriges, unausgegorenes Drehbuch.“(wikipedia.de) BORDER RUN ist sicherlich kein großer Film, doch so schlecht auch wieder nicht. Sicherlich hätte ein erfahrenerer Drehbuchautor als die beiden Newcomer Fiebiger und Kolquist die Geschichte etwas geglättet und vielleicht auch den Figuren etwas mehr Tiefe verliehen, doch das grobe und ungeschliffene Drehbuch beschreibt viele Aspekte des Grenz Lebens ungeschminkt und lässt so viele Entwicklungen der Story furchtbar real wirken. In den Kinos war dem Film seinerzeit kein sonderlicher Erfolg beschieden. Die Deutschland wurde der Film gar nicht erst in die Kinos gebracht, sondern erfuhr seine Veröffentlichung direkt auf DVD und Blu-Ray.
Die hier besprochene Blu-Ray Veröffentlichung von Universum Film kann mit einem guten Blu-Ray Bild aufwarten. Das Bild Format von 2,35:1 entspricht dem Original Format. Als Sprachoptionen gibt es Deutsch und Englisch, jeweils im Tonformat DTS-HD 5.1. Als Extra bietet diese Veröffentlichung ein Wendecover.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
I am a Sharon Stone Fan. However while interesting this is not one of her best films. The story line is poor and the supporting actors are not very convincing.
