Is it really so difficult for Americans to come home from Mexico?
10 August 2000
Another movie about some young, attractive Americans who go to Mexico to party hearty, dude, but find that their dream vacation has turned into a nightmare. Hasn't this ground been covered before? Haven't we seen dozens of movies with fresh-faced young heroes battling the twin demons of corrupt Mexican policemen and unresponsive American bureaucrats?

In "Hostile Intentions," three young American women cross the border with partying on their mind. They accept an invitation to a party that turns nasty, then get arrested, then...well, use your imagination as to what rotten things happen to them next. Along the way, they hook up with a Mexican guy who may or may not be on their side, then meet his family, then things get complicated as the film explores illegal immigrant smuggling.

This was a prime-time feature on Bulgarian network TV this evening. I'm glad I didn't pay to rent the movie. There isn't really any good reason to see "Hostile Intentions," unless, of course, there's nothing else on TV that hasn't been dubbed into Bulgarian.
