Underrated Scott Adkins gem!!

I won't write a long review, going into detail, because this film isnt put there to judge in that way. It's cheap, corny, greatness!! Adkins acting in this is one of his best performances and some of the action is bang on!! It isn't your usual Scott Adkins taekwondo fest but to be honest it's all the better for it. Turn on, tune in cop out.

Solid action South of the Border

This action movie is centred on an unnamed American policeman who, following an operation that goes badly wrong, crosses the border into Mexico with a large bag full of money. He makes his way to the town of El Fronteras where he gets a very frosty reception. He can't even buy a glass of water. The town is run by a corrupt sheriff and a criminal gang; they don't want strangers in their town and the rest of the population are too scared to confront them. Our protagonist's only ally is the woman who runs the bar and even she will be pleased when he leaves. Things get worse when people learn what is in his bag.

This film was never going to be in contention to win any awards but if you are looking for action you can do a lot worse. The rudimentary plot might not be the most original but it provides a good excuse for plenty of stylishly shot action. Scott Adkins does a solid job as our protagonist and other notable performances come from Yvette Yates, as the bar owner; Sofía Sisniega, as a would-be gang member and Christian Slater as Adkin's boss. For the most part the film is near non-stop action or moments where action could erupt at any moment. There is also a degree of humour at times and an unnecessary, but fairly tame, sex scene. Overall I wouldn't say this is a must see film but it is worth watching if you are a fan of action; it was certainly better than I expected.

Not foreign at all

Even clichés can be nice to watch. So while the title is talking about a "stranger/foreigner", the plot itself is actually pretty common. You might have seen similar stories told and some even in a better fashion (hopefully). But this still is a lot of fun, if you let it. There are some nice little visual tweaks here and there and the editing style is all over the place too. It might not be your taste, but you can't fault the movie for trying.

Scott Adkins delivers again and you can see why he sort of revives the 80s action movie style almost by himself. He has that kind of charisma and I don't mean that in a degrading way. The dog sub story is good and even Christian Slater isn't a big letdown as he was in his last couple of movies ...
