Leave your thoughts about Cartel Land.
| Sacramento News & ReviewDaniel BarnesHeineman and his crew gain a terrifying level of access, giving us front-row seats to the drug war. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectLike most documentaries about the Mexican drug wars, this has nothing to say about the social and political context. It is meant for visceral entertainment and as such reflects the aesthetic of Kathryn Bigelow--the executive producer. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertShot in times of serious danger, it balances idealism and violence, triggering an adrenaline high and a sense of soul-crushing hopelessness in the same instant. |
| MLive.comJohn SerbaAbsolutely essential viewing, as vital and unsettling a documentary as you're likely to see. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThis documentary about the problems and limitations of vigilante justice includes some impressive hand-held camera work, indicating bravery during firefights south of the border, and stamina while climbing very rugged terrain along the border. |
| IndiewireEric KohnThis is an idea familiar to anyone who has waded through Bigelow's universe of conspiratorial agendas in which no good deed goes unpunished, and might not be a good deed at all. Cartel Land plants that dilemma in our backyard, and ends with the tangible perception that it won't go away anytime soon. |
| NewcityRay Pride[I]mpressive filmmaking in the service of dispiriting fact, figures on both sides of the law saying that lawlessness and corruption cannot and will not end. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeFilmmaker Heineman vaults us into a true heart of darkness. |
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanWithout passing moral judgments on either group, Cartel Land provides a vivid illustration of the dangers inherent whenever a government fails to meet its citizens' needs to the extent that they take matters into their own hands. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonOne person's armed vigilante is another person's guardian angel and the border between these two ideas is wafer thin and easily crossed as Matthew Heineman's beautifully shot and probing documentary shows. |
