About American Visa

Mario Alvarez (Demián Bichir) dreams of reuniting with his son and starting a new life in the United States, however obtaining a visa in Bolivia amidst corruption and harsh laws designed to curb immigration is no easy task. In director Juan Carlos Valdivia's thoughtful meditation on the post-9/11 political climate, one man will be forced to resort to questionable methods to achieve his goal. Mario's diligent efforts to escape to the U.S. are soon complicated, when he falls for a beautiful dancer, Blanca (Kate del Castillo) who offers new option for him to remain in Bolivia.

rating: 3 Quotegood actors, but overall very weak movieQuote
I rented this because I was drawn to the unique storyline and because I love kate and demian.

however, the plot was pretty weak, which caused the actors to be less than incredible and instead give pretty forgettable performances. my guess is that the directing was not as good as it could have been, which compromised the overall impact of the movie.

I recommend it to watch but not to buy. March 6, 2008
