Reviews


80
Salon - Charles Taylor
Jack Nicholson is at his best playing a burned-out border patrol officer in a small Texas town.

The New Yorker - Pauline Kael
Richardson is able to encompass so much in the widescreen frame that he shows how the whole corrupt mess works.
75
Slant Magazine - Chuck Bowen
The Border is marvelously detailed. The script, by Deric Washburn, Walon Green, David Freeman, is peppered with lively obscenities and slights that communicate the debauched cynicism of this world.
75
IndieWire - Unnamed
The film unravels towards the end, devolving into a too-neat shoot-em-up finale that stinks of studio interference, but Nicholson’s performance is a marvel throughout. It’s time it got its due.

The Associated Press - Bob Thomas
The Border is a well-made action-adventure film enhanced by authentic settings and a superlative performance by Jack Nicholson. [08 Feb 1982]
