On the Border is executed well, for a trashy, sleazy film, with a mundane premise.

Rochelle Swanson is something. It's an odd choice by Jake and naive by Barry to think he would like that deal and not be up to something. The dialogue's somewhat lacking, plenty filled with blank stares. It comes together nicely at the end though and better than can be expected.

Border of El Paso with Juarez City must be very hot area. Americans may use to cross the border to find sexy entertainment, and this is shown in this film. In the other US side there is a bank that everybody wants to rob, including his guard, who is living a romance with the wife's owner of the bank. The end of the film is really funny and interesting, some scenes are unexpected by film watchers.

I bought this for £1 and was not sure what to expect. There are some fairly recognisable names but strictly B-C grade actors at best.

Casper Van Dien is the likable guy called Jake who happens to work in a bank as a security guard. He has some criminal history which is revealed in the poorly staged opening sequence.

Camilla Overbye Roos (whom I have never heard of before) plays Kristen an attractive femme fatale, who is part of a plot to trap Jake and coerce him into stealing money from the Bank.

Australian actor Bryan Brown plays Barry, he has been planning a bank job and coerced Kristen into ensnaring Jake. He is a violent man and believes he has control over Kristen and owns her, but all is not as it seems.

Then we have Daniel Baldwin as Ed the owner of the bank who deals with some shady characters and occasionally launders Money.

We also have Jakes former partner in crime Sykes played by Bentley Mitchum (also a new face to me). A psychotic redneck type who is not too bright and has come looking for payback.

Then last but most definitely not least is Rosalita played by the incredibly well endowed Rochelle Swanson. A fiery Mexican Brunette who is so hot she positively sizzles. She is the wife of Ed (the Bank Owner) and is having an affair with Jake whilst also planning to rob the bank with him.

This movie is styled along the lines of U-Turn, Red Rock West etc. Most of the Characters are in a situation they are looking for a way out of and deception and double-crosses are never far from their minds.

The acting from Casper Van dien was okay, Rochelle Swanson was good. The rest of the cast ranged from passable to not so convincing. Still I found this movie to be a quite enjoyable and very watchable experience. For the price it was certainly worth it and past the time quite efficiently. 6/10
