Reviews
|
Salon -
Jack Nicholson is at his best playing a burned-out border patrol officer in a small Texas town.
|
|
The New Yorker -
Richardson is able to encompass so much in the widescreen frame that he shows how the whole corrupt mess works.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
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.

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