"No Man's Land" sets up two families on either side of the border. I expected a lot from this movie as the cast seemed unbeatable. The plot and the main characters were also shaky. After the Greer family bump into illegal Mexicans on their property in the middle of the night, Jackson (Jake Allyn) tries to help but ends up shooting and killing Gustavo's (Jorge A. Jimenez) young son Fernando (Alessio Valentini) in the chaos.
When Jackson's father (Frank Grillo) tries taking the blame, Ramirez (George Lopez), a Texas Ranger, suspects the cover up. Jackson flees south into Mexico. On his journey to nowhere, Jackson starts to realize that his neighbours across the border are people too and he starts to develop a bond with Mexico (and a Mexican girl of course). This movie shows that the world is growing apart and racism and prejudgment are ample. The whole storyline is very predictable. Regarding the performances, the most captivating ones are from George Lopez, Jorge Jimenez and Jake Allyn. And always nice to see Frank Grillo in a movie. He never disappoints. Watchable but missing a kick and a twist.

Enjoyed
Simple but still enjoyable. Actually very pleased in George Lopez acting skills.
Why did Jackson run
His father was just stabbed by someone trespassing on their land. In addition they were also trying to take his gun. If he would of owned up to it in the beginning, he would of easily beaten the charges with self-defense. Instead he runs away risking his life as well as ruining his chance of playing major league baseball. Despite the nonsensical plot the movie had some great cinematography and decent acting. Plus we get to see George Lopez take a bullet in the end. 5 stars.
