Writer-director Wayne Kramer’s gripping film features a variety of stories interlinked by their protagonists’ involvement with the US Immigration Service.

Harrison Ford, happily playing his age after disguising it with doubles in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, scores as immigration officer Max “Everything’s a crisis to you” Brogan, while charmless Ray Liotta is perfect as an Immigration Service executive demanding sexual favours for helping aspiring immigrant Alice Eve. A timely and thought-provoking drama.
