A Better Life

A horrifyingly true, yet predictable story of a family of inmigrantes ilegales that try to make a better life for themselves in Los Angeles.  The story had promise, but I felt that I had seen it before: no mother, the son unhappy with padre, a struggle to make enough money day to day, and trouble that ends in a foreigner's worst nightmare.  The acting was decent and there was a great climactic scene, but the rest was mostly forced emotion.  The ending was well done and makes you appreciate how much of a better life we have in America.

Rating: B-
