Critics consensus

“It makes frustratingly facile work of its thorny premise, but Jack Nicholson's gritty lead performance keeps The Border worth watching.”

Jack Nicholson gives his best starring performance since "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" as a soul-searching U.S. border patrolman...

Nicholson's best leading role since he won the Oscar for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" six years ago.
