“Death On The Border” (** out of four) was a half-hearted suspense melodrama about a woman (Shannon Elizabeth) trying to help a detective (Frank Whaley) who has hit rock-bottom by trafficking in illegals across the Mexican border which leads to involvement with various cops and underworld enforcers (Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo, and others). Topical story of sex-trafficking and border chaos has a solid cast but mild and sputtering results. You can only imagine what Sam Peckinpah and Walter Hill might have done with material like this.
