FROZEN RIVER
6.5/10
Not a terrible film, but not fantastic either. This film was about a mothers doing what they have to in order to make a better life for their kids - one, a Mohawk (American Indian/Native American) and the other a 'white woman' (as referred to by the aforementioned woman) who is trying to get enough money together to upgrade her trailer home to a kit home. In this particular case, she does so by delving into a somewhat 'grey' area of the law relating to people smuggling between the Canadian and US border. I must admit that I was jumping ahead in my mind to guess the plot, and what I predicted didn't happen, so thumbs up there. It's just that some of the acting was so poor by the small parts that it really jarred.
