That was one of the most saddening illegal immigrant stories I've ever seen depicted. And when it ended, it just ended by abruptly pausing on the last frame, fading out to black, and credits without music playing eerily afterward.
In that silence, I realized that these stories - stories of desperate people and their families leaving their homes and loved ones in search of a promised land, only to be exploited and made to suffer all the way there to be buried in a mountain of disappointment and despair - happen every single day the world over. If a poor man was planning to migrate illegally with his family when he still has a choice not to go, he'd re-evaluate his decision if he had seen this film beforehand.
It was pretty powerful for me, personally, to say the least.

I felt like my brother and I laughed at that movie more for all the wrong reasons than the good reasons.
But yes, as far as those kinds of movies go, it was decent. But I still thought it wasn't very good. I just don't like that style of movie in general.
